Disney confirmed late last year that the long-awaited sequel Hocus Pocus 2 is on the way for the Disney+ streaming service, and today we’ve learned that it’ll be arriving next year!
Hocus Pocus 2 will premiere on Disney+ in the Fall 2022!
The film is being billed as “the spooky sequel to the 1993 Halloween classic,” suggesting that it’s a continuation rather than a reboot or remake. But will the original movie’s main cast be back? Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy have all repeatedly expressed interest in recent years, and since today’s announcement comes directly from Midler, well, it’s probably safe to say that the original Sanderson Sisters are indeed back for this one!
UPDATE: It’s been 100% confirmed that all three actresses are reprising their roles!
In the sequel, “Three young women accidentally bring the Sanderson Sisters back to modern day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on the world.”
Anne Fletcher (The Guilt Trip) has also been confirmed to direct the movie this fall.
The Kenny Ortega-directed 1993 movie starred Omri Katz as a curious youngster who moves to Salem, Massachusetts, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of diabolical witches (played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy) that were executed in the 17th century. The film also starred Thora Birch, who may be back for the sequel as well.
Jen D’Angelo (“Workaholics”) wrote the sequel’s script.
Sistaaaahs! It’s been 300 years… But we’re BACK!
