Beetlejuice Beetlejuice—Tim Burton’s long-awaited sequel to the classic Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder original—is coming soon to digital streaming.

The sequel to 1988’s supernatural comedy smash, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opened in theaters on September 6. Keaton reprises his role as the title character in the sequel, a bio-exorcist who tried to scare the Deetz family out of their house in Winter River, Connecticut, in the original film.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice finds Lydia Deetz (Ryder) and her stepmother, Delia (Catherine O’Hara) returning to Winter River for the funeral of the Deetz family patriarch, Charles.

Joining the two are Lydia’s rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid (Jenna Ortega) and Lydia’s boyfriend, Rory (Justin Theroux), and inevitably one of them says “Beetlejuice” out loud three times to summon “The Ghost with the Most” from the Afterlife to wreak more havoc.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice also stars Monica Bellucci as Beetlejuice’s vengeful ex-wife, Delores and Willem Dafoe as a deceased actor who has taken his roles as a detective way too seriously.

According to When to Stream, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, October 8. While typically accurate with its reports, the streaming tracker did not note whether Warner Bros. announced or confirmed the release date, so it is subject to change.
