What's in the teaser?

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,” it added.
The picture is Tim Burton's first feature since directing Disney's live-action adaptation of Dumbo in 2019.
Catherine O'Hara, 69, recently teased that she filmed one-on-one scenes with Michael Keaton, 72, for the upcoming project. "I'd been in the first movie in group scenes with Michael, but in this, I had an actual moment where the two of us just...," she said. “And it was just so crazy and thrilling, really to just be face-to-face with Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice has aged very well,” she joked.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is slated to be released in theatres on September 6.
