Updated: Mar 23, 2018 10:47 am

Beetlejuice 2 is in the works. We repeat: BEETLEJUICE 2 IS IN THE WORKS!!!

Can you tell we're excited?

Winona Ryder, who played goth teen Lydia Deetz in the flick, confirmed the glorious news — which is basically the best thing that has ever happened to us.

“As far as I know, it’s going to happen,” she told 'HuffPost Live' during an appearance at Sundance this week.

HY-PER-VEN-TI-LAT-ING.

Naturally, we wondered what the cast has been up to since the 1988 (yeah, WE FEEL OLD) movie.

Check it out in the gallery — go ahead, make my millennium!

Ready to See What the 'Beetlejuice' Crew is Up to Now?

2 of 10

Michael Keaton "Betelgeuse"

Then: Scaring you/making you laugh as the rude and crude troublemaker — who would eventually inspire Robin Thicke's wardrobe.

Now: After a very successful career, Michael took a break — that is until 2014 when he starred in the Oscar-nominated flick Birdman. Beetlejuice, Batman, Birdman…guy's got a thing for the B's!

3 of 10

Alec Baldwin "Adam Maitland"

Then: The sweet and lovable husband who mistakenly relies on Beetlejuice to make death better.

Now: Alec, who ruled TV with Tina Fey on 30 Rock, recently just welcomed his third child — his second with wife Hilaria.

Geena Davis "Barbara Maitland"

Then: Adam's better half with the seriously great hair. And, like Adam, she agrees to hire Beetlejuice. As we all know, BIG mistake.

Now: Thelma & Louise… A League of Their Own… the woman can do it all! Her most current stint was on Grey's Anatomy.

Winona Ryder "Lydia Deetz"

Then: The goth girl who could see ghosts and had one interesting wardrobe. She also danced in the air to "Banana Boat (Day O)" with dead football players as backup.

Now: Making our dreams come true by confirming [Beetlejuice 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5l2IKywa4)_ is happening!

Jeffrey Jones "Charles Deetz"

Then: Being bossed around by his crazy second wife — and getting possessed during dinner.

Now: Also known as Principal Rooney (ROONEY EATS IT!), Jeffrey got into some trouble in 2003 when he was arrested for possession of child pornography, among other things. He pleaded no contest, but was arrested twice more after failing to update his sex offender status. His latest big role was in HBO's Deadwood from 2004 – 2006.

7 of 10

Catherine O'Hara "Delia Deetz"

Then: She had a knack for style (um, we GUESS you can call it that) and didn't exactly get along with her stepdaughter. She also deeply expressed the following: "I'm here with you. I will live with you in this hellhole, but I must express myself. If you don't let me gut out this house and make it my own, I will go insane, and I will take you with me!"

Now: As much as we love-hate Delia's character, she will forever be Kevin McCallister's mom (Home Alone, guys!). She currently stars on the Canadian TV show Schitt's Creek.

8 of 10

Glenn Shadix "Otho"

Then: The best interior decorator in all of New England. He was one of NYC's leading paranormal researchers — until the bottom dropped out in '72

Glenn sadly passed away in September 2010 at the age of 58.

9 of 10

Sylvia Sidney "Juno"

Then: The woman who's supposed to guide Barbara and Adam in their afterlife — and begs them not to seek Betelgeuse's help. Should have listened to your caseworker, guys!

Sadley, Sylvia — whose career spanned seven decades — died from esophageal cancer in NYC in 1999. She was 88.

Shrunken Head

Something tells us fella still doesn't look so hot…and he's still waiting to be called. One day, Shrunken Head, one day…
