On August 2, 2014, Erik Burnham revealed the reason for the end of ongoing isn't sales related citing conversations at San Diego Comic Con 2014. Burnham also commented he and Dan Schoening will stick around and a Volume 3 might happen but it isn't set in stone yet. [1]
On August 5, 2014, in an interview, Tom Waltz hinted the events of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters mini-series will matter and will rear their heads in future stories of both franchises. [2]
On July 12, 2015, Erik Burnham announced there will be a Volume Three coming in 2016. Also returning will be Dan Schoening and Luis Delgado. [3]
On July 16, 2015, Erik Burnham revealed Volume Three is tentatively set to begin in Spring 2016 around April. [4]
On July 23, 2015, when asked about the use of witches, Erik Burnham hinted he "had an aim to do something for Volume 3", but the crew "went with another tack instead to start." [5]
On August 12, 2015, Erik Burnham stated there were no more crossovers plans for the near future. [6] He also hinted IDW is considering going to five issues per trade paperback. If it happens, he would start capping story arcs at five instead of four issues or, at most, where an arc would have a mid-point break. Sales and pre-orders are and always be a factor. [7]
On August 13, 2015, Erik Burnham revealed he initially pitched 'a year or so' worth of issues for Volume Three, with the first six months more specifically fleshed out. [8]

On October 9, 2015, a new series titled Ghostbusters International was announced. It centers around Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, Winston Zeddemore and Egon Spengler taking on supernatural threats in other parts of the world. The first issue picks up where "Ghostbusters: Get Real" and the Annual 2015 leave off. It begins with the Ghostbusters performing their unique service at the United Nations only to earn a few trips overseas to track down problematic spirits. The team will go to Italy and France. In Italy, they will go the island of Poveglia near Venice. Some cases will involve them being hired to investigate while some will be just because Ray wants to look into it, much like the Haunted America arc in Volume 1. Burnham teases there may be a connective mystery. Burnham confirmed there will be different attitudes towards ghosts and Ghostbusters in play in different locations and hints at the the red tape in trying to bring unlicensed nuclear accelerators across a border. Meanwhile in New York, there will be some new and old Ghostbusters alike. Janine Melnitz will be probably be looking into hiring. There will be the return of some favorites. The narrative will definitely cut back to New York City for stories. It's not an all on-the-road show. [11] Erik Burnham confirmed it is the new ongoing series. The title might or might not revert back to just "Ghostbusters" like with Volume 2 in the case of it starting off being titled "New Ghostbusters." [12] [13] Burnham also has sent the script for Issue #1 to Tom Waltz. [14]
