HOCUS POCUS 2 is Set to Premiere on Disney+ in September 2022
Disney has announced the premiere date for the long-awaited Hocus Pocus 2. The Sanderson Sisters will be resurrected once again and haunt Disney+ on September 30, 2022.
The “spooky sequel to the 1993 Halloween classic,” brings back Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy to reprise their roles. It should be really fun to see these characters again!
In the sequel: “It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters who were executed for practicing witchcraft, and they are looking for revenge. Now it is up to three high-school students to figure out how to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before midnight on All Hallow’s Eve.”
The film is being directed by Anne Fletcher (The Guilt Trip), and the cast also includes Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson, who is a fan-favorite character from the original 1993 movie. Joining them are Whitney Peak (Gossip Girl, Molly’s Game) as Becca, Lilia Buckingham (Dirt, Crown Lake) as Cassie, and Belissa Escobedo (American Horror Stories, The Baker and the Beauty) as Izzy, three young women in present-day Salem who incite the wrath of the three witches. Then there’s Sam Richardson (Werewolves Within), Tony Hale, Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), Froy Gutierrez, Juju Brener, Taylor Paige Henderson, and Nina Kitchen.
Jen D’Angelo (Workaholics) wrote the sequel’s script.
