Disney+ recently revealed a follow-up to the 1993 Disney classic is in the works and it appears the original Sanderson Sisters will be making a return and everyone’s three favorite witches are returning to put another spell on audiences in the “Hocus Pocus” sequel.
Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed on Instagram that she and fellow cast members Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy will return for the Disney+ sequel and the news has many fans running amok, amok, amok with anticipation!
Parker teased the trio’s return to Salem, Massachusetts as you can see in the Instagram post below:
Excited for what could come, one fan asked if there was ‘any chance of a sequel?!’, to which Sarah said: ‘we have all said yes. Now we wait. X’ While when another fan asked if the trio would be up for ’round 2′, she responded ‘sure’ and ‘we await instructions.’
The original 1993 film about a trio of 17th-century witches wreaking havoc in modern-day Salem, Massachusetts, stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy. The film was directed by Kenny Ortega and based on a screenplay by Mick Garris and Neil Cuthbert.
“Workaholics” writer Jen D’Angelo is reportedly writing the sequel and has been tasked with finding a way to bring back the original cast of Bette Midler as Winifred, Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah, and Kathy Najimy as Mary.
