Ghostbusters: Afterlife is winding down its theatrical run right now, though we will not have to wait long to enjoy the film at home. While we do not know the full details of what will be on the disc or digital version of the film features-wise, we do know that it will release on 4K Blu-ray on February 1st. Here's hoping for some rad deleted scenes and maybe some interviews with the returning cast. Until we know for sure, though, things are a bit up in the air. You can see the 4K cover down below.

Ghostbusters Should Be One Of The Better Winter Disc Releases

"From director Jason Reitman and producer Ivan Reitman comes the next chapter in the original Ghostbusters universe. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, when a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind. The film was written by Jason Reitman & Gil Kenan. Based on the 1984 film Ghostbusters."

Here is what our own Kaitlyn Booth said about the film in her excellent review: "There is a fine line to walk when it comes to doing a soft reboot or a "years after the fact" sequel to an established franchise with a very vocal fanbase. You need to have a certain reverence for the source material that shows that you at the very least respect it, but at the same time, you also need to bring lots to the table so you can try and bring in new fans as well. Ghostbusters: Afterlife might be one of the best examples of one of these sequels. There is a lot of love for the original source material, but the first two movies aren't the point of this movie. You can go into this movie without seeing any of the previous movies, and you'll like it just as much as a fan will. The connections between the two are explained, so regardless of your knowledge level, no one will be alienated. It also doesn't spend too long on these explanations so established fans won't get mad. It's clear that this movie is here to be its own thing first and a sequel second which is the best possible way to approach this, and they absolutely pull it off."

We will update you when the features list for Ghostbusters: Afterlife when they are released.
