‘Hocus Pocus’ is going to cast a spell on us once again with ‘Hocus Pocus 2.’ Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are officially confirmed to return! Here are all the latest updates.
The Sanderson sisters will live to witch another day. Hocus Pocus 2 is officially happening, and your favorite three witches will be back. Disney+ confirmed on May 20, 2021, that Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy will be returning to the roles of Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson in the upcoming Hocus Pocus 2, which will premiere exclusively on Disney+ in 2022.
Hocus Pocus is a beloved Halloween classic that millions watch every October. However, Hocus Pocus wasn’t a box office sensation when it was released on July 16, 1993. It only made $38 million off of a $28 million budget. In the nearly 30 years since Hocus Pocus came out, the film has become a phenomenon. Now there will be another Hocus Pocus movie to love. HollywoodLife has all the latest updates on the upcoming sequel.
