In a recent update that has thrilled fans, Samantha J. Pierce revealed that the three iconic witch sisters from the cherished 1993 Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus, are all ready to return for a sequel. Disney+ has officially initiated development on Hocus Pocus 2, and according to Pierce, the enthusiasm from her co-stars is palpable.
During an appearance on Sirius XM’s “Locked Down with Bruce,” Pierce shared, “Bette [Midler] and Kathy [Najimy] and I are very much open to the concept.” She added, “For quite some time, there were discussions about moving forward, but we weren’t really in the loop.”
It seems impossible that a sequel to such a momentous film could be underway without consulting its leading ladies! The original Hocus Pocus featured Midler, Pierce, and Najimy as the mischievous Sanderson sisters, cursed in 1693 Salem. Their resurrection by teenager Max Dennison—who relocates from Los Angeles to Salem with his family—leads to a comical and chaotic chase with his charming little sister, Dani, as they attempt to prevent the sisters from achieving immortality.
Samantha made it clear that she and her fellow witches have now reached a consensus about the project. “We’ve officially stated to the right people that we think it would be a really fun project to take on,” she said. Last Halloween, she hinted at their collective interest in an “unofficial” manner.
Despite the original film’s modest box office performance, grossing only $39 million against a $28 million budget, it has developed an enduring legacy, captivating a generation that now introduces Hocus Pocus to their own children.
When Variety first broke the news of a sequel, the original stars were not included, but recent developments suggest that the winds of change are blowing favorably. Fans are eagerly anticipating what spellbinding surprises await in the new installment.
