Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, and Bette Midler will reprise their roles as the delightfully wicked Sanderson Sisters in the live-action comedy `Hocus Pocus 2,` the spooky sequel to Disney’s 1993 Halloween cult classic `Hocus Pocus.` The film will premiere exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar Premium in 2022.
Singer/actress Bette Midler (`The First Wives Club,` `Beaches`) returns as Winifred Sanderson, with Sarah Jessica Parker (`Sex and the City`) and Kathy Najimy (`Sister Act`) back as her sisters, Sarah and Mary, respectively. In `Hocus Pocus 2,` three young women accidentally bring the Sanderson Sisters back to modern day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on the world.
