The ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ trailer is here. It’s showtime!

“Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!”

No matter how many times we said it, the guy failed to appear.

Now, after 36 years, he’s finally back.

Michael Keaton reprises the role of Beetlejuice, the “ghost with the most,” in the teaser trailer for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” released Thursday.

Tim Burton directs the sequel to his 1988 classic “Beetlejuice,” welcoming back not just Keaton but also Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz and Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz.

“Beetlejuice” newcomers include Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday Addams in the Burton-directed Addams family series “Wednesday.”

In the “Beetlejuice” sequel, she plays Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, as the Deetzes return to Winter River, Connecticut — the fictional home of the first film — after a family tragedy. When Astrid happens upon the model of the town in the attic, the portal to the afterlife is opened once again.

Everyone’s favorite undead, smooth-talking “bio-exorcist” returns in the Warner Bros. teaser, which starts with Astrid riding her bike past her mother’s alma mater, Miss Shannon’s School for Girls, and the bridge where the Maitlands died in the first film.

The trailer is set to a slowed-down cover of Harry Belafonte’s “Day O,” which was famously used in the original movie.

The Deetzes are first seen together at a burial ceremony, then we see Astrid up in the attic of the house, uncovering the model of the town where Beetlejuice hung out in the first film.

The model town starts quaking and cracking and Lydia rushes to the scene to see a full-sized Beetlejuice rise out of it.

“The juice is loose,” he says.

She looks horrified.

“Wednesday” creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar wrote the screenplay for the film, which also sees the return of composer and frequent Burton collaborator Danny Elfman.

The cast of the sequel includes Willem Dafoe as a ghost detective and former B-movie star.

There’s also Justin Theroux, who plays Rory; Monica Bellucci, who plays Beetlejuice’s wife; and Arthur Conti (”House of the Dragon”), who makes his feature film debut in the movie as a love interest for Astrid.

“Beetlejuice,” which was a hit upon release in 1988, spawned a similarly beloved animated series, which ran from 1989 to 1991 on ABC and Fox, as well as a Tony-nominated musical, which debuted in 2018.

Burton finished filming the sequel in November and is currently editing the movie.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” will be in theaters and IMAX Sept. 6, 2024.
