A Legacy Revisited
Oscar® nominee Director Tim Burton and Oscar® nominee legendary actor Michael Keaton reunite in this sequel that expands the hauntingly whimsical world of Beetlejuice. Picking up immediately after a tragic event brings three generations of the Deetz family back to their Winter River home, Lydia Deetz’s teenage daughter, Astrid, inadvertently finds the strange attic model of the town and accidentally opens a portal to the Afterlife. With tensions building in both the mortal and spirit realms, it takes little time for someone to exclaim the infamous name three times, unleashing the pandemonium of Beetlejuice himself.
Star-Studded Cast
Michael Keaton reprises his role as the titular Beetlejuice, joined by Beetlejuice original cast members Winona Ryder (Lydia Deetz) and Catherine O’Hara (Delia Deetz). The sequel also welcomes an exciting array of new talent, including:
- Emmy® nominee Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, Scream VI) as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid.
- Willem Dafoe (Poor Things, At Eternity’s Gate), an Oscar® nominee who brings his distinctive edge to a new role.

Creative Team and Vision
