Directed by Paul Feig and written by Katie Dippold and Feig, the film is also expected to feature cameos from original franchise stars Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver.
Erin Gilbert (Wiig) and Abby Yates (McCarthy) are a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real.
A few years later, Gilbert lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia University, but her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia.
Gilbert reunites with Yates and others when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.
