What is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice about?
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is shot 36 years after the events of the first movie. Lydia Deetz is now a mother and hosts a supernatural talk show called "Ghost House." She has been estranged from her daughter, Astrid, since her former husband, Richard, had died in the Amazon.
One day, while filming her show, Lydia starts hallucinating and sees Betelgeuse, the restless ghost who had sought to wed her decades ago. This is when Lydia and Astrid return to Winter River after some family tragedy. It doesn't take long before Lydia's life becomes even more complicated when Astrid opens a portal to the Afterlife by accident, which brings Betelgeuse back into her life.
The film continues to open the story focusing on a fragile relationship between Lydia and Astrid with the uncontrolled mayhem brought about by the revival of Betelgeuse. In addition, there are many familiar faces throughout the movie, including Delia Deetz, the owner of an art gallery, and several other new characters like Lydia's manager Rory, the ex-wife of Betelgeuse, Delores.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will be available digitally, starting October 8, 2024, and the physical media release on November 19, 2024; there's room for all your options to enjoy this spooky sequel.
