Tim Burton‘s long-awaited Beetlejuice sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is coming to streaming very soon – find out when below.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which premiered in cinemas in early September a whopping 36 years after the release of its original, has finally been confirmed to hit streaming services this December, exclusively on Max.

Per a Deadline report, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will land on Max on December 6, and will premiere on linear HBO broadcast the following night.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sees Tim Burton reunite with Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, but this time also stars Wednesday star Jenna Ortega. The sequel follows three generations of the Deetz family as they return to Winter River, as Lydia’s (Ryder) daughter Astrid (Ortega) accidentally opens up the portal to the Afterlife.

In October, Deadline also reported that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice became Tim Burton’s second-highest grossing film at the US box office, earning $251.435million. The film – besides favourable reviews from critics – has also been labelled a financial success.

In a four-star review of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Nick Levine wrote for NME: “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is filled with brilliantly ridiculous moments like Keaton’s character quite literally spilling his guts, Belluci’s venomous witch stapling her mutilated body back together to a remix of the Bee Gees‘ ‘Tragedy’ and a ludicrous group lip-sync to Richard Harris’s camp classic ‘MacArthur Park’.”

“This film has its flaws, not least some unnecessary CGI sandworms that clash with the kitsch practical effects elsewhere, but its sense of fun never lets up. It’s silly, giddy and a little bit disgusting – just what we want from Beetlejuice.”
