Question: Why doesn't anyone from the Afterlife try to stop Lydia from doing her TV series? In the first movie, Juno said that the living must not discover evidence of the Afterlife.

Answer: My guess would be that it's a combination of a few factors. The first is that she's far from the only one doing that sort of program. There are hundreds of paranormal shows, YouTube channels, etc. It would start to look very suspicious if suddenly things started happening to everyone who makes that type of content. Second, a lot of people just flat-out don't believe in things like ghosts and the afterlife. And a lot of those shows are faked, anyway. So while Lydia is earnest and honest, a lot of people won't believe it. Therefore, her show isn't exactly super risky for the afterlife. And finally, the original movie really doesn't dwell on that idea; it's basically given a few brief lines of dialogue in like one scene, and that's it. So you could also make the argument that this movie just sort of ret-conned or is ignoring that idea due to it being such a minor, unimportant element of the original.

TedStixon

Answer: I agree with Ted Stixon - many people have similar shows/online channels, and many people don't believe in the content. So, the afterlife officials are probably not concerned about all of them. There are people in real life who claim to be in contact with the deceased, as well as psychics and people with various religious beliefs.

Visible crew/equipment: When Beetlejuice is first introduced, right before we see him, the camera rotates around the model and the sign above the grave lights up. Right before the sign lights up, you can ever-so-subtly see a part of the camera's shadow move over the model. It's subtle and easy to miss, but once you see it, it's pretty obvious.

Question: In the first movie, Beetlejuice worked with Juno, and later, Otho says that people who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife. In this movie, it's revealed that Beetlejuice didn't commit suicide but was murdered by being tricked into drinking poison by the woman he loved. Why would he be working in the afterlife if it was murder and not intentional suicide?

Answer: I thought the same thing on this and also why Lydia's husband was a civil worker, but there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part where Beetlejuice is reading a newspaper and there is a small story with a headline titled: 'Workers Wrongly Assigned Suicide at Death', which would explain it.
