An interconnecting web where they aid GB from all dimensions.
The older crews even might show up in some way if time and space is not an issue.

Wow! Those are some interesting ideas. It being set in 2050 really gives them some wiggle room for creativity. For one thing even though we will be seeing new characters it wont exactly mean that we will be seeing a bunch of rookies trying to figure out how the equipment works. The show could start off with this crop already as seasoned Ghost Hunters. It's pretty exciting to think about. From what I read from some of the articles is that the team that we focus on in the show travels to other parts of the world where other GB Franchises are based and helps other branches. So in addition to seeing the core group we will see other GB teams as well.
This is about as big as it can get. I mean it does kind of mirror reality in a way. Ghostbusters may have started as just a fun film, but it did grow into this wonderful phenomenon. Fans have really kept the spark alive through the periods of inactivity by starting there own Branches all over the world and doing work for various charities. Now many of those franchises are officially recognized by Ghost Corps. It's absolutely amazing and I think Ecto Force may be a good representation of how far Ghostbusters has come.
One thing I was wondering, weather Ecto Force is Canon with the 1984 or 2016 film may not even matter especially if the IDW comic continues to sell well. Ecto Force is just another playground for the writers at IDW to explore. Since GB 101 is the first real big collaboration with IDW and Ghost Corps. Like I believe The IDW team said it best when talking about the future of the franchise. "Lots and Lots of Ghostbusters."
I need to take a step back guys, my head might explode if all this awesomeness actually comes together.
