After years of rumors, Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2 is finally happening. We’ve got a real Halloween treat for you, we have learned new details about the sequel which is expected to premiere in 2022. Here’s everything we know so far. The Cast & Crew Disney has confirmed that the original Sanderson sisters Bette Midler (Winifred), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah), and Kathy Njimy (Mary), are all returning.

News has come that the movie will get a theatrical and home release on the same day this October. In the sequel to 2019’s movie, “We find Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time.” To reclaim their bond they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, It, as well as many new kooky characters.

On Friday, the stars of Hocus Pocus had a reunion to benefit a charity. The big question is will three ever reunite for a sequel? The answer is hopefully yes! Variety is reporting that Disney Plus is currently working on a sequel. While the sequel has been stuck in development for a while now, the charity event has renewed the public’s interest.
