We already have a teaser and a handful of photos from Disney+’s Hocus Pocus 2, and today we have a brand new look at the Sanderson Sisters from the Halloween-set sequel streaming this coming fall.
The images were shared by the D23 magazine, with the first making a fun joke by showing the backside of the witches above the caption “We’re Back, Witches.” (It’s worth noting that this was also done in Freddy vs Jason.)
The other gives us a fresh look at Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy all back as the beloved Sanderson Sisters.
In the sequel…
“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.
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.
