Netflix is set to feature its upcoming Ghostbusters animated series at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, taking place from June 8–14, 2025, in Annecy, France, writes our good friend Jason over at Ghostbusters News.
The series will be featured during Netflix’s Animated Series Studio Focus session on June 12, alongside other anticipated titles like Dr. Seuss’ Horton!, Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, Magic: The Gathering, Minecraft, and Haunted Hotel. This session will be led by Netflix Animation executives John Derderian (Vice President, Animation Series), Heather Tilert (Director, Kids + Preschool), Billy Wee (Director, Adult Comedy), Dylan Thomas (Director, Adult Spectacle), and Dominique Bazay (Director, Family Spectacle).
Flying Bark Productions signs on for Ghostbusters animated series
Before fans get excited about a public reveal of Ghostbusters, it’s worth noting that the Studio Focus session is part of Annecy’s industry-only programming and won’t be open to the general public. Additionally, given recent job postings for the series, it’s a fairly safe bet that we’re still a ways off from a formal first look.
Pondering: Could we get a glimpse of the series on Ghostbusters Day, June 8th? Even a glimpse at the animation style? The dates line up nicely…
Previously, Flying Bark Productions confirmed their involvement in the series, collaborating with Sony Pictures Animation and Netflix. The studio is known for its work on Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Ghostbusters is being developed with Ghost Corps, Inc., with Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan serving as executive producers, and Elliott Kalan attached as writer and showrunner.

The festival will also feature screenings of titles such as Astérix & Obélix: The Big Fight and Devil May Cry.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
