    ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ Offcially Confirmed for Disney+

    During Disney’s Investor Day event, the studio confirmed that a new sequel to the 1993 Disney classic “Hocus Pocus” will be running amok amok amok on Disney+

    Earlier this year in October, Bette Midler — who starred alongside Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as a trio of witches who are accidentally resurrected on Halloween in the film — revealed in an interview with that she, Parker, 55, and Najimy, 63, have all agreed to star in the highly anticipated sequel.

    Disney also shared the news on their twitter account as you can see below:

    “They want to make a movie, they’ve asked us if we were interested and of course all of us said yes,” Midler, 75, said at the time. “I’m game, I’m totally game.”

    In the original film, “After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches’ book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.”

    Although casting has not yet been confirmed for the sequel, Midler previously said the original cast was interested in returning to their iconic roles. They recently brought their characters back to life for a virtual fundraising event in October – yes, it even included a performance of I Put A Spell On You.

    New Cauldron Shaped ‘Hocus Pocus’ Board Game Released by Disney

    Halloween time is right around the corner and Disney has released a new ‘Hocus Pocus’ board game that will have you running ‘Amok Amok Amok.’

    The object of the game is to prevent the witches from completing their wicked potion before the sun rises. The Sanderson Sisters will of course try to sabotage your game by casting spells, but you can use help from Thackery Binx the cat, and tricks — like the Rain of Death — to help you along the way.

    “Under the light of a full moon on All Hallows’ Eve, you and your friends sneak into the old Sanderson house. On a dare, you light the Black Flame Candle – surely the old stories are just a bunch of hocus pocus. Before you know it, the Sanderson sisters have come back from the dead, ready to brew their terrible potion and suck the lives from the children of Salem. It’s up to you to ruin the witches’ potion and put an end to their terrible deeds forever!” the instructions say. Basically, it’s like you’re inside the movie and have to work your way to a happy ending.

    You can order Hocus Pocus: The Game on Amazon for $19.99. It includes one cauldron board, 50 Ingredient cards, a Witch board, 13 Spell cards, a Sun token, four trick tokens, a rulebook, and one Binx meeple.

    The game can be played with two to eight players ages 8 and older. It takes about 30 minutes to play, so you can get in a round before turning on the movie.

    The packaging is designed to look like Winifred’s spell book and features the witches over their cauldron, obviously up to no good this Halloween.

    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.’

    “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.

    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.
