After the spellbinding success of Hocus Pocus 2, Disney has greenlit Hocus Pocus 3, bringing back the wickedly charming Sanderson Sisters for another magical adventure. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are set to reprise their iconic roles as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson. The film is slated for a Halloween 2025 release on Disney+, promising to enchant a new generation while delighting longtime fans.
While Disney has yet to reveal specific plot details, early rumors suggest the third installment will explore the origins of the Sanderson Sisters’ magical powers, offering a glimpse into their lives before they became the infamous witches of Salem. The film will also continue the story of Becca (Whitney Peak), Izzy (Belissa Escobedo), and Cassie (Lilia Buckingham), who embraced their roles as modern-day witches in the second film.
Insiders hint at a storyline where the past and present collide, with the Sandersons possibly teaming up with—or battling against—the new generation of witches to face an ancient and even more dangerous magical force.
