after decades in development, the long-awaited sequel to the beloved tim burton classic, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, is finally set to unleash its brand of bio-exorcism on the world of streaming.
Netflix has announced that the film, starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara, will be available to stream on the platform in May 2024. However, there’s a catch – the film’s netflix release is only temporary, and it will only be available to watch for a limited time. As if the deal with the devil himself wasn’t complicated enough, the film’s Netflix streaming release is only available in the US.
But what’s behind the delay?
According to various reports, the film’s development began over 40 years ago, with Tim Burton first expressing interest in bringing the story to life. However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that production finally commenced. The resulting film opened to decent reviews and a strong box-office performance, grossing over $451 million worldwide.
Despite its success, the sequel has taken a surprising amount of time to materialize.
According to reports, the film’s Netflix release comes as part of the build-up to Season 2 of Tim Burton and Netflix’s hit series Wednesday.
