The Sanderson Sisters take flight in the latest poster for Hocus Pocus 2. Released via social media, the poster sees Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles as the trio of evil witches all these years later and teases their wickedly glorious return.

Picking up some 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters in 1993’s Hocus Pocus, they are back. And they are looking for revenge. 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 sees Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles as Winifred “Winnie” Sanderson, Sarah Sanderson, and Mary Sanderson, three witches who are inadvertently resurrected by a virgin teenage boy in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night way, way back in the early 90s.

While it may have taken many years for Hocus Pocus 2 to materialize, audiences may not be waiting quite as long for a third follow-up, with director Anne Fletcher recently revealing that the upcoming sequel will leave the door open for more. “I have definitely kept it wide open for any sequel,” she said. “Now it’s really up to them if they want to do it. I can’t say anything other than yes, it is left open. Will they do it? I don’t know, they haven’t even talked about it, that I can be honest with you.”

Not only is the filmmaker on board, but star Bette Midler is also equally eager to stand front-and-center in her own franchise.

Directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Jen D’Angelo, Hocus Pocus 2 is scheduled for a Disney+ release on September 30, 2022.
