• An upcoming animated series based on the Ghostbusters franchise is in development by Sony Pictures Animation. The series will explore an unexplored era of the Ghostbusters canon and will be produced by Gil Kenan and Jason Reitman (Ghostbusters News).
• Ghostbusters merchandise has seen a surge in new releases. Highlights include a "Burning" Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figure, a Ghostbusters Firehouse tabletop RPG kit, and a new Ghostbusters Collector’s Box containing themed items like a Ghost Trap bento box and a Slimer LED light (Ghostbusters News).
• Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire continues to generate discussion and reviews. While some praised the film's visual presentation and nostalgic elements, others found it to be imbalanced with an overfilled narrative and a rushed conclusion. The introduction of new characters, such as Nadeem Razmaadi played by Kumail Nanjiani, received positive feedback, though the character Melody, played by Emily Alyn Lind, was seen as less effectively handled (Jason's Movie Blog).
