The witches are back, baby. And by witches, we mean the Sanderson Sisters, the three iconic villains from 1993’s cult classic spooky comedy Hocus Pocus. The first teaser for the upcoming sequel shows the witchy sisters crashing Salem yet again.
Hocus Pocus 2 teaser brings back The Sanderson sisters, 29 years later
Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy return to their iconic roles
Petrana Radulovic is an entertainment reporter specializing in animation, fandom culture, theme parks, Disney, and young adult fantasy franchises.
This time, though, they’re summoned by two teenage girls, who perform a dark ritual in the hope of activating any witch powers (relatable, tbh). Instead, they accidentally summon the theatrical, child-eating Sanderson Sisters. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles.
The original Hocus Pocus, directed by High School Musical’s Kenny Ortega, did not do well critically, but home video and television broadcasting turned it into a Halloween classic. Nowadays, it’s a staple of not-so-scary movies — not to mention a huge source of tourism revenue for the town of Salem. Sam Richardson, Doug Jones, and Hannah Waddingham join the cast, along with Whitney Peak, Belissa Escobedo, and Lilia Buckingham. The sequel is directed by Anne Fletcher (The Proposal) and will hit Disney Plus on September 30.
