Besides Keaton, the new sequel will feature the return of Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, and Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz. New cast members include Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter Astrid, and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe.
In the sequel, an unexpected family tragedy sees three generations of the Deetz family return to the town of Winter River. Still haunted by her past encounter with Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life turns upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic, and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened.
