The series follows the adventures of this "Next Generation" of Ghostbusters tracking down and capturing ghosts all over New York and occasionally beyond the city. Filling the cast are Janine Melnitz, the Ghostbusters' previous secretary who returns to the job, and Slimer, a hungry ghost. These are Kylie Griffin, a goth girl genius and expert on the occult Eduardo Rivera, a cynical Latino slacker Garrett Miller, a young white paraplegic athlete who uses a wheelchair and Roland Jackson, a studious African-American machinery whiz. When ghosts start to reappear, Egon is forced to recruit his lone four students as the new Ghostbusters. Egon Spengler, who still lives in the firehouse to monitor the containment unit, take care of Slimer, further his studies and teach a class on the paranormal at a local college. Each member has gone their separate way, except for Dr. Set years after the end of The Real Ghostbusters, lack of supernatural activity has put the Ghostbusters out of business. In some TV listings, the show was called Ghostbusters Dark.

Extreme Ghostbusters is an animated television series and a follow-up to the animated series The Real Ghostbusters.
