Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters is a multimedia franchise created by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. The first two films were released in the '80s, but Ghostbusters III got stuck in development hell for years. Nearly 30 years after Ghostbusters II hit theaters, a reboot starring female Ghostbusters was released, followed by another reboot/sequel in 2021 titled Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The popular characters have also appeared in several video games and animated TV shows since the franchise's creation in 1984.
