Winona Ryder Confirms ‘Beetlejuice 2’ !
Lydia Deetz herself has confirmed that Beetlejuice 2 is happening! In an interview on Late Night With Seth Myers, Winona Ryder spoke about the upcoming sequel, although she wasn’t able to confirm anything more than it’s moving forward and that she’s going to be involved.
Both director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton, who originally played “the ghost with the most”, have been vocal about wanting to return to this character for quite a while.
Ryder stated:
Um, I think I can confirm it, because Tim Burton did this interview — like, it was very hush hush, top secret … and then he was doing some press for Big Eyes and he did an on-camera interview and he said, ‘Oh yeah we’re doing it and Winona’s going to be in it,’ and I was like [shocked face].

The 1988 horror comedy focused on Barbara and Adam Maitland, played by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin respectively, who haunt their home after dying in a tragic, yet humorous, car accident. When they’re unable to get the new tenants out of their home, they hire Beetlejuice, a tricksy spookster with his own sinister agenda, to do their job for them.
Beetlejuice is arguably my favorite Tim Burton film. It’s incredibly inventive and wildly out there, which makes for an extremely entertaining and thoroughly quotable film. If they can capture even half of that magic, We’re all in for a sequel!
