Navigating the Bumpy Road to the Beetlejuice Sequel
The announcement of the much-anticipated sequel follows several unsuccessful attempts at a second Beetlejuice film. Back in the 1990s, there was even a script for Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, though it never materialized, as reported by The Week.
In the 2010s, there was a renewed effort to bring the characters back for a sequel, but production faced setbacks. By 2019, Tim Burton expressed skepticism to USA Today, casting doubt on the possibility of a follow-up to Beetlejuice.
But in 2022, there was a surprising resurrection of the project. Deadline reported that Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, had officially joined the venture.

In March 2023, it was confirmed that Jenna Ortega is taking a leading role in the Beetlejuice sequel as the daughter of Winona Ryder’s character. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that Monica Bellucci would be joining the new cast, portraying Beetlejuice’s wife in the highly anticipated sequel.
Adding to the ensemble, Willem Dafoe has joined the cast, with a report on The Hollywood Reporter suggesting he will portray a law enforcement officer in the afterlife. Justin Theroux is also slated for a role in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, though the specifics of his character are yet to be unveiled.
