Hocus Pocus 2 is confirmed to be in the works. The original film was released in 1993 and starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler, and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson sisters. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, Hocus Pocus saw the Sanderson sisters brought back to life by an unwitting teenager, Max Dennison, who didn't believe in magic. Max, along with his little sister (Thora Birch) and his high school crush, must stop the Sanderson sisters before midnight or be cursed forever.
The original film was released in theaters to middling box office results and poor critical reception. Hocus Pocus found a second life on television and home video and has become a cultural touchstone. Now a Halloween tradition for many, the film is considered a Halloween classic and has been reassessed in recent years as a Disney classic. All three Sanderson sisters, Parker, Midler, and Najimy, reunited recently, and expressed their hopes for a sequel.
It looks like their wish is being granted, with Hocus Pocus 2 confirmed to be in development at Disney's Investor's Day. Disney did not confirm whether all three Sanderson sisters will be returning for the sequel. Midler has already expressed hope that more of the original cast would return for the sequel, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Details as to the sequel's plot are under wraps.
