Beetlejuice 2 is finally happening after years in development hell, with Tim Burton set to return to the spooky and surreal world of his breakout franchise along with original star Michael Keaton and Wednesday stand-out Jenna Ortega.
Is there a release date for Beetlejuice 2 yet? We'll all have to practice just a touch more patience because Beetlejuice 2 isn't scheduled to come out until the end of this year. The flick is set to hit theaters on September 6, 2024.
Warner Bros. has released the trailer for Tim Burton's follow-up to his 1988 cult classic horror-comedy “Beetlejuice,” with Michael Keaton reprising his role as the ghoulish title character. The sequel, officially titled “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” is set for release on Sept. 6.
The aptly titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will feature Michael Keaton returning as the coarse and crude spirit Betelgeuse, who is summoned when his name is said aloud three times. Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara will also reprise their iconic roles from the original, joined by newcomer Jenna Ortega.
Will Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin be in Beetlejuice 2?
Sadly, however, Geena Davis has officially confirmed that she's not in Beetlejuice 2. Though Alec Baldwin hasn't made any comments on his role, Davis' absence all but confirms that he won't be involved in the Tim Burton sequel either.
However, a representative for Jones confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he will not appear in Beetlejuice 2. It was only 21 years ago that the actor was convicted for soliciting a minor after he pleaded no contest to hiring a 14-year-old boy pose naked for photographs.
Are Barbara and Adam going to be in Beetlejuice 2?
While they began the film by trying to scare away their house's new residents, Adam and Barbara became surrogate parents to Winona Ryder's teenage character Lydia Deetz by Beetlejuice's ending. Considering how close Adam and Barbara became to Lydia, their absence from Beetlejuice 2 is more shocking.
"With Beetlejuice now on the loose in Los Angles, California where Lydia's husband 'Alex Loughty' (Robert Downey Jr.) works, the Loughty Family must come together to defeat the ghost with the most once again..."
Beetlejuice 2's Trailer Confirms Charles Deetz Died
Three generations of Deetz women gather for his funeral, suggesting that the family will stay at the old Maitland house shortly after and, unfortunately, re-encounter Beetlejuice in the attic.
Some of the stars of the original film, like Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, will reprise their roles for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Meanwhile, fresh faces like Jenna Ortega and Justin Theroux will make their debut in Burton's ghoulish world.
Parisa Taghizadeh/Warner Bros. It's been 36 years, but once again, the juice is loose. After reprising Batman in last year's The Flash, Michael Keaton returns to another iconic role in Entertainment Weekly's exclusive first look at Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to director Tim Burton's cult hit.
The ghostly couple is now only about 35 years into the afterlife, so they still have 90 years remaining in their house. As such, one of the few plausible ways to explain Adam and Barbara being gone during Beetlejuice 2's events is that they're in the Neitherworld waiting room.
Most of the Beetlejuice cast from the 1988 film return for the 2024 sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Geena Davis is not one of them. “No, I'm not. I'm not in the remake,” Geena, 68, told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday.

Johnny Depp wasn't in the original Beetlejuice, and had Beetlejuice 2 arrived during the height of his partnership with Tim Burton — who is returning to direct — it's a safe bet he would have been cast. This isn't the case in 2023, so here's how much truth there is to the Johnny Depp Beetlejuice 2 rumors.
There is a significant amount of speculation online over whether Johnny Depp will show up in Tim Burton's upcoming Beetlejuice sequel. The reason behind this assumption is the fact that over the years, Depp and Burton have collaborated on a total of eight feature films.
Of course, the most notable thing about Beetlejuice is that it's the only Tim Burton movie not to cast Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter in the starring roles.
Tim Burton's Beetlejuice 2 has officially been given the green-light, with original cast members Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara all onboard to return.
