Everyone's favorite bio-exorcist made his triumphant return to the theater earlier this fall with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The sequel took the box office by storm, which comes as little surprise given that it's nearly four decades in the making. The film once again sees Tim Burton back in the director's chair and stars Michael Keaton as the titular character, alongside Winona Ryder's Lydia Deetz and Catherine O'Hara's Delia Deetz. Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Arthur Conti have also joined in the fun.

Though it only hit theaters in September, Warner Bros. did us all a solid and made the hit sequel available to watch at home in early October on video-on-demand platforms. For those who have been holding off for its streaming debut, we have some great news: it officially starts streaming on Dec. 6. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Beetlejuice 2from the comfort of your couch.

What is Beetlejuice 2 about?

After the unexpected death of patriarch Charles, the Beetlejuicesequel follows the Deetz family as they head back to Winter River. Lydia's (Ryder) rebellious teenage daughter Astrid (Ortega), who doesn't believe in ghosts, discovers the model of the town Adam Maitland made in the first film and haphazardly opens up the portal to the afterlife. Obviously, that's when we're reunited with Beetlejuice (Keaton) himself and all kinds of chaos ensues.

Take a sneak peek at the spooky sequel in the official trailer below:

Is the Beetlejuice sequel worth watching?

Beetlejuice Beetlejuicehit theaters in early September and truly dominated the box office, surpassing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Warner Bros.'s all-time box office list and becoming Burton's second-highest-grossing film ever. Of course, the numbers only matter if the content can back them up. And according to reviews, it certainly does.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Beetlejuice 2has a 76 percent critic rating and a 79 percent audience rating. As Mashable's own film editor, Kristy Puchko, wrote in her review, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is pure Burton, passionate, untethered, and indulgent. Fans of the original movie will have plenty of reason to cheer, and even more to cackle."
