Some legends never die. The witches are back in Hocus Pocus 2 this Halloween season, the long-awaited sequel to the Halloween classic coming to Disney+ on September 30, 2022.
Watch the first official Hocus Pocus 2 teaser trailer below!
The teaser takes us back to Salem, Massachusetts to introduce a new group of characters who end up resurrecting the Sanderson Sisters, who have been lying in wait all these years. “Lock up your children! Salem, we’re back!” the sisters proclaim towards the end of this first Hocus Pocus 2 teaser, which also teases the return of Billy Butcherson and of course, a black cat.
The film is being billed as “the spooky sequel to the 1993 Halloween classic,” with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy all back as the beloved Sanderson Sisters.
“It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters who were executed for practicing witchcraft, and they are looking for revenge. Now it is up to three high-school students to figure out how to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before midnight on All Hallow’s Eve.”
Anne Fletcher (The Guilt Trip) is directing the movie, and the cast also includes Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson, a fan-favorite character from the original 1993 movie.
Joining them are Whitney Peak (“Gossip Girl,” “Molly’s Game”) as Becca, Lilia Buckingham (“Dirt,” “Crown Lake”) as Cassie, and Belissa Escobedo (“American Horror Stories,” “The Baker and the Beauty”) as Izzy, three young women in present-day Salem who incite the wrath of the three witches. Sam Richardson (Werewolves Within) will also star. “Arrested Development” favorite Tony Hale and “Ted Lasso” actress Hannah Waddingham have also both landed roles with Froy Gutierrez, Juju Brener, Taylor Paige Henderson, and Nina Kitchen.
The Kenny Ortega-directed 1993 movie starred Omri Katz as a curious youngster who moves to Salem, Massachusetts, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of diabolical witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy) that were executed in the 17th century. The film also starred Thora Birch, who will not return for the sequel, unfortunately.
Jen D’Angelo (“Workaholics”) wrote the sequel’s script.
