Winona Ryder Had A Beetlejuice 2 Clause In Her Stranger Things Contract

Before she signed on for Stranger Things, Winona Ryder made sure she could still make Beetlejuice 2

"I am literally on my 10th year playing her," said Ryder. "It's an absolute first for me to play a character for that long. It was huge to say yes to just one episode… they only gave me the pilot episode. I didn't at the time know what streaming was. It was terrifying in that regard."

During Ryder's print interview with Harper's Bazar, she revealed that Lydia is now the single mother of Astrid (Wednesday's Jenna Ortega), and that she has retained her ability to see and speak with ghosts. But one of the primary sources of tension between the mother and daughter is that Lydia can't use her power to reach her late husband. The return of Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) will likely complicate things for the Deetz family.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will hit theaters on September 6, 2024. Stranger Things Season 5 will premiere on Netflix in 2025.
