We’re one step closer to a whole new generation of Ghostbusters! The newest trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife finally dropped on July 27. For all of the original Ghostbusters fans out there, the trailer features plenty of nostalgia. But it’s the final moments of the trailer that will really make you stand up and cheer.
A red phone rings and a man picks it up. “We’re closed,” Dan Aykroyd’s Ray Stantz says in the trailer. Even after all these years, Ray still has his occult bookstore! Earlier in the trailer, commercials of the OG Ghostbusters, including Dan, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis, are shown.

The supernatural comedy is a direct sequel to Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is set 30 years after the second film. After being evicted from their home, a single mom (Carrie Coon) and her two kids (Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace) move to a small town in Summerville, Oklahoma, into an old farmhouse their grandfather left them after he died. Their grandfather is none other than Egon Spengler, an original Ghostbuster.
