Production
The concept of Ghostforce was conceived by Jeremy Zag beginning in 2011. He found inspiration in various media franchises such as Ghostbusters. A pre-visual bible for the series was created in 2012. Ghostforce underwent several changes during its production. Originally, the series was originally going to be a CGI/live-action hybrid. However, it was later changed to be fully CGI-animated after Zagtoon signed a three-year distribution deal with PGS Entertainment. Man of Action, who were involved in creating sister show Zak Storm, had some input on the creation of the series. An early animation reel was created in 2014 featuring Andy transforming into a blue Ghostforce member while a demo of the theme song was playing in the background. The reel was featured at the 2014 MIPCOM trade show in Cannes, France. After some time, Ghostforce was purchased by TF1 in 2016, with Disney later getting rights to international distribution. Jeremy Zag, before the launch of the series, would occasionally post clips from the series on social media. The first season is animated by SAMG Animation. Similar to its sister show, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, the second season is going under what the company calls a “visual revival”. The season is set to debut December 2026 on Netflix in select international markets with TF1 and Super RTL being secondary broadcasters. It’s heavily implied that Disney is no longer involved with the project due to low audience reception. ==References==
