Beetlejuice 2: Release date, cast & everything we know

Here’s everything we know about Beetlejuice 2, the sequel to the classic 1980s movie, form its release date to cast, plot speculation, and more.

When many think of iconic gothic-influenced horror films, the original Beetlejuice is usually right at the top of everyone’s list.

The film, which stars Michael Keaton in one of his most notable roles, has managed to hold interest due to its cult classic status, counter-cultural aesthetic, and a somewhat recent musical adaptation that’s been on and off Broadway since 2018.

What’s more, director Tim Burton will be back to direct the sequel, adding extra excitement to its development and the hope that it will be just as scary and whacky as the first film. With that being said, here is everything you need to know about Beetlejuice 2 ahead of its release.
