Beetlejuice 2 is a sequel to the classic 1988 horror movie Beetlejuice. The film follows the story of Lydia Deetz, a young woman who is the latest in a long line of witches. When her husband is killed by a lawyer with a grudge, Lydia seeks the help of Beetlejuice, a freelance “bio-exorcist” who specializes in scaring away evil spirits.
The new sequel is being written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, co-creators and co-showrunners of Wednesday. Winona Ryder is reprising her role as Lydia Deetz, and she is joined by Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter, Catherine O’Hara as Lydia’s stepmother Delia, Monica Bellucci as Beetlejuice’s wife, Willem Dafoe as a law enforcement officer in the afterlife, and Justin Theroux in an unspecified role. Michael Keaton is also reprising his role as Beetlejuice.
Beetlejuice 2 is headed for a September 6, 2024 theatrical release. Do you think you’ll be watching this sequel to the classic horror movie? Let us know in the comments below.
Winona Ryder coming back makes me so happy! Lydia was always the heart of Beetlejuice. Hopefully Burton & co. do right by her character in the sequel
So excited to return to the whimsical yet creepy world of Beetlejuice! If anyone can recapture the magic of the original after all this time, it’s Tim Burton.
Not going to lie, I’m worried Tim Burton doing the same quirky schtick decades later won’t work. But maybe the nostalgia will carry it. Fingers crossed!
