Disney+ announced the Sanderson Sisters will be reuniting for “Hocus Pocus 2.”
Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are set to reprise their roles in the sequel which follows the 1993 cult classic film.
In a release, Disney described the plot of the film: “Three young women accidentally bring the Sanderson Sisters back to modern day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on the world.”
It’s all just a bunch of Hocus Pocus 2️⃣

“Hocus Pocus 2” will begin production this fall with Anne Fletcher directing and Lynn Harris producing. Adam Shankman, who originally signed on to direct the sequel, will serve as an executive producer due to scheduling conflicts.
“Now more than ever, people need to laugh. We should be laughing every day, and there is so much fun to be had with these three unbelievable women playing delicious characters from such a beloved film,” said Fletcher.
