Focus Pocus 2 Cast: What We Know So Far

Exciting news for fans of the beloved Halloween classic! Disney recently announced that Hocus Pocus 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1993 cult film, will premiere on Disney+ on September 30. But what can we expect from the new installment? Let's dive in and explore everything we know so far.

First up, the news was revealed during the Disney Upfronts, where fans got a sneak peek at some rough cuts of the movie. And, yes, Bette Midler cackled her way through the announcement, warning us that 'Salem, we're back!' The Sanderson Sisters are indeed returning to Salem, and this time they won't need a virgin to light the Blake Flame Candle.

The main characters from the original film won't be returning for this new story, but the Sanderson sisters will be back, along with two other familiar faces. We'll also get to explore their backstory, giving us a deeper understanding of these iconic witches. Directed by Anne Fletcher, Hocus Pocus 2 follows three high school students who accidentally resurrect the Sanderson sisters and must now find a way to stop them.

The original film wasn't well received when it first came out, with critics calling it 'mediocre' and not liking its sense of humor. However, thanks to annual airings on Disney Channel throughout October, Hocus Pocus has become a cult classic, and this warmer reception has finally made way for a sequel.

So, what are you most excited about? The return of the Sanderson Sisters? The exploration of their backstory? Or perhaps the new characters joining the mix? Let us know in the comments! With only a few weeks left until the release date, we can't wait to see what Hocus Pocus 2 has in store for us. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to join the Sanderson Sisters once again on Disney+.
