Disney+ Reveals New and Returning Cast Members for HOCUS POCUS 2
Disney+ has revealed the new and returning cast members that are on board the highly anticipated sequel Hocus Pocus 2. As expected, original stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are all set to return as the Sanderson Sisters, with Doug Jones returning to play zombie Billy Butcherson. They will be joined by Whitney Peak (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Gossip Girl), Lilia Buckingham (Crown Lake), Belissa Escobedo (The Baker and The Beauty, Tony Hale (Arrested Development, Veep, Toy Story 4), Sam Richardson (Veep, Hoops), Hannah Wadingham (Game of Thrones, Ted Lasso), Juju Brener (Vanquish), Froy Guiterrez (Teen Wolf, Cruel Summer), Taylor Henderson (Earwig and the Witch), and Nina Kitchen.
The film is being directed by Anne Fletcher (The Proposal, This Is Us) from a script by Jen D’Angelo (Workaholics, Young Rock).
We haven’t gotten a synopsis for the film yet, and there’s no word on if we will see the original Hocus Pocus stars Omri Katz, Vanessa Shaw, and Thora Birch back for the sequel. I think it would be a lot of fun to see them return, but either way, the kids and I are excited for this movie! Check out the Tweet below, and let us know if you’re happy about the casting news. Hocus Pocus 2 is set to hit Disney+ next Fall.
