Original lead stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are set to return for the follow-up feature set up at the streaming platform Disney Plus. The studio made the announcement through its official Disney Plus Twitter, alongside a video featuring the sequel’s logo.
Also boarding the cast are Crown Lake-fame Lilia Buckingham, Belissa Escobedo of Don’t Look Deeper fame, Juju Brener, known for Vanquish; Teen Wolf star Froy Gutierrez, Taylor Henderson and Nina Kitchen. The original Hocus Pocus starred Midler, Parker and Najimy as a trio of Sanderson witch sisters who are brought to life 300 years after the Salem witch trials and they discover that Halloween is now just a holiday.
The sequel reportedly has three young women accidentally bringing back the Sanderson Sisters to modern-day Salem. They must then figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking havoc on the world. Doug Jones, who starred in the original Hocus Pocus, is also returning for the sequel. Hocus Pocus 2 will premiere on Disney Plus late next year.
