Hocus Pocus 2: Release Date, Cast, Trailer, & More Enchanting Updates

Get Ready, Sisters!

The full official trailer for Hocus Pocus 2 has finally arrived, offering a glimpse into the origins of the Sanderson Sisters. This sneak peek at Winifred, Mary, and Sarah in their youth is truly exciting!

There are many beloved ’90s films that probably don’t need a reboot or sequel years later. Hocus Pocus, a cinematic masterpiece, seems to be one of those films—after all, how could anyone replicate its original charm? However, the excitement skyrocketed when it was announced that Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy would be returning to reprise their iconic roles as the Sanderson Sisters. The excitement was palpable, rivaling the thrill Sarah Sanderson (played by Parker) feels when spotting a handsome boy.

Initially, updates about Hocus Pocus 2 were scarce. Fans anxiously wondered if it was really happening, when it would be released, and, most importantly, when they could expect to see a trailer. Fortunately, fans didn’t have to wait 300 years like the Sanderson Sisters! Keep reading for all the details you crave—like the release date—and to watch the newly released full trailer showcasing the Sisters’ backstory (it looks fantastic!).

When is Hocus Pocus 2 Coming Out?

The Sanderson Sisters are making their much-anticipated return to the small screen this fall. After two years of anticipation, mark your calendars: Hocus Pocus 2 will premiere on Disney+ on Friday, September 30, 2022. Be sure to write this down! There was some initial confusion, as producer Adam Shankman hinted that the release would be around Halloween. “SISTAAAAAHHHHSSS! Aaaaand that’s a WRAP!!! #hocuspocus2 Congratulations to the amazing team…” he shared in a post. Honestly, this earlier date is better since you can enjoy both the original Hocus Pocus and its sequel in a binge-watching session come Halloween.

Is There a Trailer for Hocus Pocus 2?

Yes! On June 28, Disney+ released a teaser trailer for the sequel, and it did not disappoint. Then, on September 9, the first official full-length trailer was unveiled, showcasing the film in all its glory.

What’s the Sequel About?

Details about the sequel’s plot have been kept under wraps to maintain an element of surprise. However, the trailers indicate that the Sanderson Sisters are back to wreaking havoc in modern-day Salem. Set 29 years after a virgin named Max (originally portrayed by Omri Katz in the 1993 film) lit the Black Flame Candle to resurrect the witchy trio, the sequel will once again feature a small group of teens as the only defense against the Sanderson Sisters. This time, a new group of contemporary teens takes center stage, and they seem to be armed with some great one-liners!

Who’s in the Cast? Will the Original Stars Return?

The sequel boasts an exciting lineup, including Hannah Waddingham from Ted Lasso and Tony Hale and Sam Richardson, both familiar faces from Veep. The teens tasked with saving Salem are Becca (played by Whitney Peak), Cassie (Lilia Buckingham), and Izzy (Belissa Escobedo). As shown in the trailer, the beloved witches—Midler, Parker, and Najimy—return as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson, respectively. Doug Jones reprises his role as Billy Butcherson as well. However, original cast members like Omri Katz (Max), Thora Birch (Dani), Vinessa Shaw (Allison), Amanda Shepherd (Emily), and Larry Bagby (“Ice”) are not expected to return. Fingers crossed for some surprise cameos!

“I am beyond thrilled to be involved in the sequel to a film that is as beloved as Hocus Pocus,” director Anne Fletcher expressed when the sequel was announced. “Fans around the world have embraced these characters and made this film a Halloween tradition whose popularity continues to grow. I feel fortunate to be back at Disney with these three extraordinarily talented ladies in the iconic roles they created, alongside our fabulous new cast members.”

We couldn’t agree more, Fletcher! September 30 can’t come soon enough.
