Jason Reitman‘s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is finally getting ready to haunt theaters on November 19, 2021, and the main cast from the original two movies is back for this one.
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts are all coming back for this sequel to the original classic, reprising their iconic and beloved roles.
Appearances from the legacy characters have only been lightly teased up to this point, but a new TV spot this week features an appearance from Annie Potts as Janine Melnitz!
The international spot plays up the “legacy” aspect of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, with Potts briefly appearing as the beloved character she played in the first two Ghostbusters movies.
In this year’s Ghostbusters film, written by Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan:
When a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.
Afterlife‘s cast includes Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd.
