So, what do we know about the Hocus Pocus sequel so far? Well, it’s set to debut on Disney+ in fall 2022, and the original Sanderson Sisters (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimi). It will be directed by Anne Fletcher, who replaced Adam Shankman earlier this year. Per IMDb:

Three young women accidentally bring back the Sanderson Sisters to modern day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking havoc on the world.

Below is the official synopsis of the original 1993 film, Hocus Pocus, directed by Kenny Ortega:

After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches’ book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.
