Background
Years after The Real Ghostbusters, a lull in supernatural activity has put the Ghostbusters out of business and the original members have gone their separate ways. Only Egon remains at the firehouse, monitoring the containment unit, looking after Slimer, continuing his studies and teaching a paranormal class at a local college. When ghosts return he recruits four of his students as the new Ghostbusters: Kylie Griffin, a goth genius and expert on the occult; Eduardo Rivera, a cynical Latino slacker; Garrett Miller, a wheelchair athlete; and Roland Jackson, a studious African-American machinery whiz. Janine Melnitz returns as secretary and Slimer stays on. The new team hunts ghosts across New York and occasionally beyond, learning to work together through Janine's unrequited feelings for Egon, Kylie and Eduardo's love-hate relationship and constant clashes with sceptical authorities.
