Beetlejuice is back! Academy Award-nominated creative visionary Tim Burton and Academy Award-nominated star Michael Keaton reteam for Beetlejuice, the highly anticipated sequel to Burton’s award-winning film Beetlejuice.
Keaton returns to his iconic role alongside Oscar nominee Winona Ryder (Stranger Things, Little Women) as Lydia Deetz and two-time Emmy Award winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, The Nightmare Before Christmas) as Delia Deetz.

Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return to their Winter River home. Lydia continues to be haunted by Beetlejuice, and her life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter Astrid discovers a mysterious model of the town in the attic, accidentally opening a portal to the afterlife. Trouble ensues in both worlds, and when someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times, it’s only a matter of time before the mischievous demon returns to wreak havoc of his own.
