Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

An American supernatural comedy horror film released in 2024, serving as a direct sequel to "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" (2021) and the fifth main installment in the franchise. Directed by Gil Kenan, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jason Reitman, the story unfolds three years after the events in Summerville. The Spengler family—Callie (Carrie Coon), her children Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) and Trevor (Finn Wolfhard), along with their friends Lucky (Celeste O’Connor) and Podcast (Logan Kim)—relocate to New York City to assist Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) and Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) in reestablishing the Ghostbusters team.

The new and old teams unite to prevent the impending glacial threat and save the city from a second Ice Age.
