It's only taken 36 years, but a Beetlejuice sequel is finally here! Sure, we may have had an animated series, a musical, video games, comic books, and even had Betelgeuse take centre-stage in his own episode of Teen Titans Go!, yet September brings with it a long-awaited return to the big screen for the Ghost with the Most.

While this sequel - titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - will obviously forge its own path, it's got plenty of familiar faces involved to please fans of the 1988 original. Of course, back on headline duties is Michael Keaton as the title character, and Tim Burton is back in the director's chair for the first time since 2019's Dumbo. On top of that, Catherine O'Hara and Winona Ryder are back as Delia and Lydia Deetz, respectively, and they're joined by the perfectly cast Jenna Ortega as Lydia's daughter Astrid - with the rest of the cast fleshed out by some pretty heavy hitters such as Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, and Justin Theroux.

The early plot details have the Deetz ladies heading to Winter River after a family tragedy, with the rebellious Astrid soon discovering the infamous model of the town as Betelguise eventually returns to the fold while trouble simmers away in the ream world and the Afterlife.

Release Date: 6 September
