Children's horror comedy Hocus Pocus wasn't a big hit with critics when it was released back in 1993, but it was very successful at the box office, and would go on to establish itself as a family favorite staple of the spooky season. This Halloween, the Sanderson Sisters are set to return to wreak havoc on Salem, and the first teaser trailer for Disney+'s sequel is now online.
The footage doesn't give much away, but we do see our trio of new protagonists (played by Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham and Belissa Escobedo) cast a spell which inadvertently brings the evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy) back from the dead.
Check out the trailer below along with a new poster, and let us know what you think.
"It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters, and they are looking for revenge," reads the synopsis. "Now it is up to three high-school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow’s Eve."
Hocus Pocus 2 also stars Sam Richardson (The Tomorrow War), Doug Jones (The Shape of Water), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), Froyan Gutierrez (Teen Wolf), and Tony Hale (Veep). The film is directed by Anne Fletcher (Dumplin, The Proposal) and produced by Lynn Harris (King Richard,The Shallows), with Ralph Winter (Hocus Pocus, X-Men franchise), David Kirschner (Hocus Pocus, Chucky) and Adam Shankman (Disenchanted, Hairspray”) serving as executive producers.
The movie is set to debut on Disney+ on September 30.
