According to the The Hollywood ReporterOrtega “circulates space” in the Liquid juice sequel. They add:

Tim Burton, who helmed the 1988 film with Michael Keaton, is expected to direct, with Keaton also returning, according to sources. Production is coming to a scene in late May or early June in London, but the budget has not been set, and as a result there is a back and forth. If a deal is made, sources say Ortega would play the daughter of Lydia, the character played by Winona Ryder in the original version.

As early as 1990, attempts were made to mount a sequel to Liquid juice, in which Keaton was a “bioexorcist” (really just a ghost who likes to exorcise both the living and the dead) who offers to help a couple of ghosts (played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) get rid of the new family that has moved into their house. For a long time it was Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian script floating around Hollywood; in the 2010s, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter writer Seth Grahame-Smith took a break from writing a sequel. In recent years, talks of a sequel resurfaced, this time with Keaton and Burton interested in returning.
