September 6, 2024 is the date that Warner Bros. has set for the release of Beetlejuice 2. Although the plot’s specifics are yet unknown, it is known that Michael Keaton will play his legendary part once again, accompanied by Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, who are returning to the cast.

Joining the cast are newcomers Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux, and Jenna Ortega, the latter having previously collaborated with director Tim Burton on Netflix’s The Addams Family spinoff, Wednesday.

Speculation about a Beetlejuice sequel has circulated since as early as 2012, with Keaton, Ryder, and Burton all expressing interest in the project over the years before its official announcement in February of the previous year.

Michael Keaton has some great news for “Beetlejuice” fans. During a recent interview on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show,” the actor said he has watched a first cut of Tim Burton’s upcoming sequel, officially titled “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” and he has nothing but raves for it.

“I’ve seen it now. I’m going to see it again after a couple of little tweaks in the editing room, and I confidently say this thing is great,” Keaton said. “The [original] was so fun and exciting visually. [The sequel is] all that but really beautiful and interestingly emotional here and there. I wasn’t ready for that. It’s great.”
