Can't wait for the next season of your favorite show to be available on Netflix? It's likely you won't have to wait a long time. Unfortunately, the film industry doesn't always move as fast. Imagine having to wait for decades to find out what happens next! Such is the case with some of the most popular movie franchises in history. 

It's been over three decades since Tim Burton's 1988 cult-classic comedy 'Beetlejuice' first became iconic. Now, a sequel to the famed Halloween flick is in the works. According to Deadline, it has "long been in the works" at Warner Bros., and Brad Pitt’s production company Plan B has boarded the project. Joining returning stars Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are 'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega and 'White House Plumbers' star Justin Theroux. While Ortega will be Lydia Deetz's daughter, Theroux's character is being kept under wraps. Production is set to begin in London on May 10, and the film is slated for release on September 6, 2024.
