Melody, as it turns out, is seeking the afterlife, which she’s promised by an ancient evil spirit, Garraka, provided she gets Phoebe to do his bidding. Can the ghostbusters bandy together and save the world from Garraka’s death chill, while also ensuring they are not shut down as an agency?

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is the fifth film in the franchise and the fourth in mainline instalment, which came out in time for the 40thanniversary of the first film. Frozen Empire was initially meant to be directed by Jason Reitman, who’d made Afterlife, but later Kenan took over. The film released after the franchise’s co-creator Ivan Reitman (Jason’s father) passed away; he’s credited as producer.

Director Kenan has been quoted as saying that multiple ideas have been floated for future instalments, with the mini-Pufts likely to get a storyline, given that they featured in a post-credit scene.
