No need to ask three times, because we have this (beetle)juicy bit of news ready and you only need to hear it just once. After over thirty years in development hell, Beetlejuice 2 not only is officially happening but “it’s showtime” on September 6th 2024, as the film will be released in cinemas.

Director Tim Burton is back behind the camera and returning to world of the recently deceased in one of his most beloved films, and this follow up will be penned by Wednesday scribes Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and the film has started shooting in London.

Michael Keaton is back as our favourite Bio-Exorcist who will surely have watched The Exorcist a good few more times by now! There is no word yet on whether many other original cast members are joining him in the sequel, although both Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder will be back as Delia and Lydia Deetz respectively, and will be joined by Wednesday and Scream star Jenna Ortega, who will star in this new film, and will be playing Lydia’s daughter. Other new cast members include Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and rather excitingly Willem Dafoe.

Plot details are of course vague as of right now, but expect striped sandworms and macabre aplenty, as the world of the dead is back on the big screen and Burton revisits one of his most iconic creations in September 2024.

We never thought we’d live to see the day! This news just made our millennium!
