Sony has officially handed the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife a — very surprising — release date. The studio went all out on making sure the 2021 movie was a stronger relaunch of the franchise than 2016’s reboot, and, while it didn’t blow up the bank and received somewhat mixed reviews from critics and fans, clearly Jason Reitman’s ode to his father Ivan’s 1984 original did the job as a sequel is on its way… next holiday season.

The next Ghostbusters movie — which we can call Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2, Ghostbusters 4, or, if you’re feeling particularly chaotic, Ghostbusters 5 — has been assigned the official release date of Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023. This marks a huge first for the series, which has never premiered during Christmas before. The ’84 flick, 1990’s Ghostbusters II, and Answer the Call all came out as summer blockbusters.
