Ghostbusters Movies: Release Order
The Ghostbusters franchise began as a popular supernatural comedy in 1984, spawning a direct sequel five years later with the original cast returning. The series took an unexpected turn in 2016 with a complete reboot featuring an entirely new cast and storyline, serving as a standalone entry with no connection to the original films.
In 2021, the franchise returned to its roots with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which is a legacy sequel that continues directly from the original two films while ignoring the 2016 reboot. Frozen Empire follows as a direct continuation of this restored timeline.
