Original star Michael Keaton is slated to return, as is director Tim Burton.

Winona Ryder is also set to reprise her role as Lydia Deetz.

"Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega has also been cast as the daughter of Ryder's character. Burton directed Ortega in four episodes of the Netflix series.

"Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega has been cast in director Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice" sequel. Burton, who helmed the 1988 film, directed Ortega in four episodes of "Wednesday."

Not much is known about the sequel, which was written by "Wednesday" creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, but it won't be the undeveloped "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian" sequel that Burton sought to make in the early 1990s.

Warner Bros. said production on the sequel was beginning this week in London.
