Get ready to say his name twice… well, four times this time! The sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 classic, “Beetlejuice,” is officially titled “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and prepares to haunt theaters this September.

Joining the original cast is Jenna Ortega as Astrid Deetz, Lydia’s daughter, ensuring the Deetz family continues its wacky legacy.

This playful detail perfectly captures Tim Burton‘s signature style and whimsical approach to storytelling.
Thankfully, discussions of a previous sequel titled “Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian” have been laid to rest. After overcoming production obstacles, including the SAG-AFTRA strike, filming wrapped in November 2023.
This sequel undeniably proves the continued popularity of “Beetlejuice.” Prepare yourselves for laughter, scares, and perhaps even a return of the iconic sandworm.
