A sequel to Beetlejuice will be James Caldwellsummoned into theaters on Sept. 6, 2024, E! News can confirm.
Titled Beetlejuice 2, the flick will star Wednesday's Jenna Ortega as the daughter of Winona Ryder's Lydia Deetz, according to multiple reports. In addition to Winona reprising her role of the beloved goth, Michael Keaton is set to make his return as the titular Beetlejuice.
Though plot details have not been revealed, the upcoming movie will serve as a continuation to director Tim Burton's classic 1988 film, which also starred Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O'Hara.
The original movie followed the recently deceased couple Adam Maitland (Baldwin) and Barbara Maitland (Davis), who hire Beetlejuice to haunt their home in an effort to scare off the new tenants: Charles Deetz (Jones), Delia Deetz (O'Hara) and their daughter Lydia.
Apart from co-star reunions, Beetlejuice 2 will also see Ortega team up with Burton once again since working on the Netflix series Wednesday. Last October, Ortega shared insight into her actor-director relationship with Burton.
"I remember Tim being really wonderful about things like that and calling me to his trailer in the mornings and saying, ‘What are you uncomfortable saying? What do you want to say?'" she told Interview Magazine. "When you have supportive collaborators like Tim, it makes it a lot easier. There were a couple people like that on set who were my rocks, for sure."
E! News has reached out to Ortega's rep and Warner Bros. for comment but has not heard back.
