On Thursday, Warner Bros. released a new trailer showing Michael Keatonthe return of one of her most iconic roles to date, alongside OG cast members Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara in their roles as Lydia and Delia Deetz.
“After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River,” says the film’s press release. “Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model city in the attic and the portal to the afterlife is accidentally opened. It’s only a matter of time before someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his own brand of mayhem.”
