The Sanderson sisters are back and ready to wreak havoc in the upcoming sequel Hocus Pocus 2. The Hocus Pocus 2 trailer was released today and featured the witchy sister trio’s return nearly 30 years after the release of the original.

Actors Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler, and Kathy Najimi are reprising their roles as the iconic Sanderson sisters, Sarah, Winifred, and Mary.

Hocus Pocus 2 Trailer

The ">trailer for Hocus Pocus 2 gave a glimpse into the origin story of the Sanderson sister who apparently got their magic from a mysterious witch played by Waddingham.

Set 29 years after the events of the Hocus Pocus, three high school students (played by Peak, Buckingham, and Escobedo) join hands to stop the Sanderson sisters from wreaking havoc on the town of Salem, Massachusetts.

Shortly before the sisters were executed, Winifred cast a curse that would resurrect them if a virgin lit the Black Flame Candle in their cottage. The teenagers accidentally brought the Sanderson sisters back to life after they lit the candle.

The witchy sisters are determined to stay alive past sunrise this time and try to hunt down the teenagers and steal their souls.

The Hocus Pocus 2 trailer featured callbacks to the original 1993 fantasy comedy film, a witch riding a hoverboard, the comedic yet villainous trio of the Sanderson sisters, resourceful teenagers, and one-liners.

Hocus Pocus 2 Release

Hocus Pocus 2 trailer displayed information about the release of the sequel and informed viewers that the movie event would release on the OTT platform Disney+ on September 30.
