Ghostbusters: Afterlife became a big hit last year and charmed both media and fans. We already knew that a new movie was in the works, but it turns out this isn't the only Ghostbusters project to look forward to.

As Variety can reveal, Netflix is currently working on a new animated series based on the famous ghost busting quartet. While there's not a whole lot of details known, at least we're being comforted by the fact that Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan (who co-wrote Ghostbusters: Afterlife) is involved in the project as producers.

This will be the third animated Ghostbusters series, with The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991, 140 episodes) being the most famous one, but there was also a series called Extreme Ghostbusters airing in 1997.

Editor Sweden Jonas Mäki has written for Gamereactor since 2002, becoming an editor in 2007. He covers the video game industry across news, releases and the business side, with a particular interest in sales figures and where the industry is heading.
