Ghostbusters is a supernatural comedy franchise about a team of professional ghost hunters.
The franchise began with Ghostbusters in 1984, which starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson as the titular Ghostbusters, with Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis, William Atherton and Annie Potts in supporting roles. The movie was a box-office hit and a cultural phenomenon. Catchphrases from the movie, such as "Who you gonna call?" quickly made their way into the pop culture lexicon. The movie's theme song, written and performed by Ray Parker Jr., was also a hit and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
A sequel, Ghostbusters II, followed in 1989 and did well at the box office, but wasn't as successful as the first movie. The 1990s and 2000s saw several abortive attempts at a second sequel, but they paused in 2014 when Harold Ramis passed away. A remake film appeared in 2016, featuring women in the Ghostbusters roles, but did not do well. In 2021 a second sequel, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, appeared, with the storyline focusing on the daughter and grandchildren of one of the original Ghostbusters.
The Ghostbusters franchise has also given rise to video games, comic books, and two animated television series: The Real Ghostbusters, which aired from 1986 to 1991; and Extreme Ghostbusters, which aired in 1997. Following the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, an animated film and a live-action prequel television series were in development.
Ghostbusters has been referred to several times in the Simpsons universe.
