    Hocus Pocus And The All-New Sequel is a Novel Idea and It’s Happening

    “Hocus Pocus” fans have been clamoring for a sequel for years and now they are finally getting one…  Just not in the way you think! This sequel is coming in the form of a book. It may not be a feature film, but it still has many running amok, amok, amok with anticipation!

    The new book is coming out just in time for the 25th anniversary of the iconic film and it’s going to be a two-parter. Part one is a fresh retelling of the original film, and part two is a sequel that continues the story of your favorite characters and the next generation of Salem teens.

    In part two you’ll get to hear the story of a grown-up Max Dennison, who ended up marrying Allison, of course! We’ll also get to catch up with Dani Dennison, and meet Max and Allison’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Poppy. The story takes place on a blood moon and the group will face a challenge when they accidentally release a coven of witches from the afterlife and have to save Salem and everyone in it. Sounds very intriguing! Take a look at the cover art for Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel:

    It’s already been reported that Disney Channel is in early stages of development on a “Hocus Pocus” TV movie, a reimagining of the 1993 cult classic Walt Disney feature, which starred Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy. It’s not exactly clear at this point how these plans will factor into the made for TV movie, if at all.

    Disney didn’t say whether or not the sequel will be adapted to film, but where there is a will there is a way, and where there is a book there is a possibility. Hocus Pocus & the All-New Sequel will be available for purchase on Tuesday, July 10, 2018 and you can pre-order the book here.
