Dan Aykroyd gets Ghostbusters: Night Shift title, logo for 2027
dan aykroyd’s Ghostbusters franchise has a new animated chapter: Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation revealed Ghostbusters: Night Shift as the title of their upcoming series, with a 2027 premiere set for the platform. The announcement landed on Ghostbusters Day, the anniversary of the original 1984 film’s release.
Ghostbusters Day title reveal
Ben Hibon and Elliott Kalan joined Ghost Corps executive producers Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan to introduce the title and logo on Saturday. The reveal does more than name the project; it places a new Ghostbusters series inside the same family tree that includes Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, The Real Ghostbusters, and Extreme Ghostbusters.
The timing was built around Ghostbusters Day, which has become the franchise’s annual marker since 1984. For Netflix, the 2027 date gives the streamer a clear runway on a branded series with a title that signals a new setting rather than another retread of the film line.
Ghostbusters chapters and fan support
Ghostbusters chapters in Buffalo, Los Angeles, and Virginia received Golden Trap awards for raising the most money, part of a fan campaign that pushed the Ghostbusters Give Back initiative past its $500,000 donation goal over the past year. Reitman and Kenan also recognized supporters at the event, tying the title reveal to the franchise’s community network instead of treating it as a standalone marketing drop.
Jay Levine and Sony Pictures presented a $150,000 match donation check to Starlight Children’s Foundation, bringing the total donation amount to $666,000. That puts the new series announcement next to a franchise effort that is still generating money and attention while the animated project moves toward release.
Celeste O'Connor in Brooklyn
Celeste O’Connor visited Maimonides Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn with Starlight and delivered hospital gowns and toys to pediatric patients. The same day’s programming linked the title reveal to a broader franchise presence that reaches beyond the screen and into the hospitals and local groups that have kept Ghostbusters active between releases.
Ghostbusters: Night Shift now has the one thing viewers needed most: a name and a year. With 2027 on the board, the practical next step is simple for the audience — wait for the first footage, because the title reveal has already made clear this is not a placeholder project.
