A new 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' trailer teases what's to come from several newcomers to the franchise.
In just a matter of weeks, the Juice will be loose!

As the countdown continues to the release of the highly anticipated Beetlejuice sequel -- aptly titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice -- on Sept. 6, a new trailer has arrived teasing even more of the hijinx to come from Michael Keaton and co.

It's not news at this point that Keaton is reprising his role as the titular character in Tim Burton's comedy horror alongside Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O'Hara as her mom, Delia. However, new faces are joining them this time around, including Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe, and Wednesday's Jenna Ortega as Lydia's teenage daughter, Astrid.

The latest teaser comes two months after the official trailer for the follow-up arrived in June, showing fans what they can expect come September.

"After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River," a synopsis of the movie reads. "Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned 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. With trouble brewing in both realms, it's only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice's name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem."

The new trailers give fans a look at Dafoe's Wolf Jackson, a B-list movie actor who died and became a cop in the Afterlife; Bellucci's Delores, Beetlejuice's zombified but fabulous wife; and more familiar creatures, like the stop-motion-animated sandworm.

"The living, the dead. Can they co-exist? That's what we're here to find out," Lydia says.

Fans have been patiently waiting for a proper look at the sequel to the 1988 cult film since the teaser trailer was dropped in March, giving the world a first look at Keaton back in action and hinting at what's to come.

In March, ET spoke with Keaton, who dished about making his highly anticipated return.

"It took a while to get there," he said. "I didn't really think we were gonna do it and didn't want to do it, various times [in the] last few years, but it was more fun than the other one."

Despite the initial apprehension, Keaton said that the "tremendous cast" made the experience even better.

"[Tim Burton] was really, really great -- back in his comfort zone," he added. "I could tell he was having fun, which is really contagious, when you're around that."

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice hits theaters on Sept. 6.

Beetlejuice is ready to haunt a new generation.

For sequel film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the titular undead figure played by Michael Keaton continues to stalk his favorite family, led by matriarch Catherine O’Hara, daughter Winona Ryder, and now, granddaughter Jenna Ortega. The “Wednesday” breakout star continues her collaborations with “Beetlejuice” director Tim Burton, who also helms the “Addams Family” spinoff Netflix series.

Burton directs “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” from a script written by Seth Grahame-Smith, David Katzenberg, Michael McDowel, Mike Vukadinovich, and Larry Wilson. In addition to Ortega, new franchise cast members include characters played by Monica Bellucci, Justin Theroux, and Willem Dafoe, who teased his role is that of a dead B-movie action star turned detective in the afterlife.

The Warner Bros. release comes more than 40 years after the original 1988 horror-comedy classic. Lead star Keaton teased that “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is a “beautiful” film due to its practical effects to People magazine.

“It’s the most fun I’ve had on set in a long time. On one hand, you’d go, ‘Well, of course it’s the most fun. It looks like fun.’ As you know, it doesn’t always work like that,” Keaton said. “The one thing that he and I decided on early, early, early on from the beginning, if we ever did it again, I was totally not interested in doing something where there was too much technology. It had to feel handmade. It’s the most exciting thing. When you get to do that again after years of standing in front of a giant screen, pretending somebody’s across the way from you, this is just enormous fun.”

However, Keaton admitted that both he and Burton were “hesitant and cautious” about revisiting the film.

“We thought, ‘You got to get this right. Otherwise, just don’t do it. Let’s just go on with our lives and do other things,’” Keaton said. “So I was hesitant and cautious, and he was probably equally as hesitant and cautious over all these years. Once we got there, I said, ‘OK, let’s just go for it. Let’s just see if we can do it, if we can pull this off.’”

Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment produces the sequel along with KatzSmith Productions and Tim Burton Productions.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” premieres September 6 in theaters. Check out the trailer below.
