The series is in production.

A pre-recorded message from the series’ executive producer and showrunner Ben Hibon was played:

“Ghostbusters has always been a really surprising blend of horror, comedy, sci-fi and fantasy.

We want to keep the character and the story totally grounded in a time and place that felt real. It has grit, it has texture, it has vibrancy. The goal is never photorealism. The way we approach light, the volume of light and the softness and the coloration and the temperature of light is really what brings very highly stylized characters or simplified environments or basically textures into a realm that feels very tactile and tangible.

My mission is unbound by reality. That itself allows us to go much broader, in some ways much bigger.

We’re able to be very bold and very impactful and very striking, distorting motion, blend with frame rates, ghost designs. We will be able to push the envelope, really elevate content and really surprise audiences.”

Then concept art included: "We saw from the pictures that the series appears to be following four young protagonists (they were standing silhouetted with their backs facing towards the “camera” on a hill), with other snaps set indoors and outdoors in New York City, focusing on our heroes and monsters. One particular picture had one of the protagonists wading through a New York interior filled with boxes, with a proton pack on their back glowing. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse is clearing the blueprint for the animation style, which makes sense given the studio. "
