Magical News: “Hocus Pocus 3” is Coming to Put a Spell on You

Get ready to grab your broomsticks and cauldrons because the Sanderson Sisters are back! That’s right, Disney has officially confirmed that Hocus Pocus 3 is in development. The announcement comes after the success of the 2022 sequel Hocus Pocus 2, which saw Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles as the iconic witches. The sequel broke records among the Nielsen Top 10 streaming charts, taking home the largest opening weekend with 2.7 billion minutes viewed following its Sept. 30 premiere.

According to a recent profile with The New York Times, Walt Disney Pictures president Sean Bailey stated that “Yes, Hocus Pocus 3 is happening” when discussing additional upcoming live-action projects in development at the company.

All three actresses, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, have reportedly expressed interest in appearing in the third film.

The original Hocus Pocus movie came out in 1993 and has since become a cult classic, especially during the Halloween season. The plot centered around a teenager who unwittingly summons a trio of witches known as the Sanderson Sisters played by Midler, Najimy, and Parker.

The 2022 sequel centered around the sisters also being accidentally brought back by a group of teens. No information as to the cast or a release date for Hocus Pocus 3 has been made public yet.

It’s been almost 30 years since the release of the first Hocus Pocus movie, and it’s safe to say that the Sanderson Sisters have become a beloved part of the Halloween tradition for many fans. The announcement has caused a stir of excitement and anticipation among fans who can’t wait to see what kind of mischief the witches will get up to this time around.

So, get your black cats and pumpkins ready, because the Sanderson Sisters are coming back to put a spell on you once again!
