Ernie Hudson Says GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE Sequel Script Has Been Completed

Ghostbusters: Afterlife director Jason Reitman and writer Gil Kenan have been hard at work developing the sequel for the film, which is tentatively titled Firehouse. Now, Ernie Hudson, who plays Winston Zeddemore in the franchise, has offered a little update. He teased that he has read a version of the sequel's script and he's excited about it! In an interview with CB he shared:

"I did read a version. I'm pretty sure they committed to doing another one. I'm very happy with it, but I also know this is early on. Jason has been incredible, and I really just love and appreciate him. I'm so thankful to be able to work with him. So, I'm excited about but... I haven't and I never assume anything."

"I am happy, though, to have Ghostbusters in my filmography. And I'm just really delighted when I see little kids, two and three years old, singing the song and being happy about it."

Hudson will actually have a decent-sized role to play in the sequel. Reitman previously shared: “The character of Winston Zeddemore and Zeddemore Industries figures strongly into the future of Ghostbusters.”

The film has been previously described as “the next chapter in the Spengler family story.” It will officially be heading back to New York City and it’s also expected to take place in the Firehouse headquarters that has been featured in the first two Ghostbusters films.

Mckenna Grace also recently confirmed that she would be back to reprise her character Phoebe and I assume several of the other characters from the first movie will return as well. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is currently slated to arrive in theaters on December 20th, 2023.
