'''''Beetlejuice Beetlejuice''''' is a 2024 American [[Gothic film|gothic]] [[dark fantasy]] [[comedy horror]] film directed by [[Tim Burton]] from a screenplay by [[Alfred Gough]] and [[Miles Millar]]. A sequel to ''[[Beetlejuice]]'' (1988) and the second film of the [[Beetlejuice (franchise)|''Beetlejuice'' franchise]], the film stars [[Michael Keaton]], [[Winona Ryder]], and [[Catherine O'Hara]] reprising their roles alongside new cast members [[Justin Theroux]], [[Arthur Conti]], [[Monica Bellucci]], [[Jenna Ortega]], and [[Willem Dafoe]]. Set more than three decades after the first film, it follows Lydia Deetz, now a mother, struggling to keep her family together in the wake of a loss as Betelgeuse{{efn|name=spelling|The title character's name is variously spelled "Betelgeuse", "Beetle Juice", and "Beetlejuice" in the film, script, and credits. The "Betelgeuse" spelling is used throughout this article for consistency.}} returns to haunt her.
 
After the success of ''Beetlejuice'', plans for a sequel were announced by [[The Geffen Film Company]], its original producers, and little materialized until 2011 when [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] hired [[Seth Grahame-Smith]] to pitch a story, which went through numerous revisions before being shelved in late 2019. Plans for a sequel were revived in early 2022, with Burton set to co-produce with [[Brad Pitt]]'s studio [[Plan B Entertainment]]. After the casting process finished in early 2023, [[principal photography]], supervised by cinematographer [[Haris Zambarloukos]], took place in parts of England and the U.S. from May to November, despite being suspended for four months due to the [[2023 SAG-AFTRA strike|2023 actors' strike]]. The official title was revealed in February 2024. During post-production, editing was handled by Jay Prychidny, and the musical score was composed by longtime Burton collaborator [[Danny Elfman]].
