Set your alarms for spooky season because this Halloween will see long-awaited sequel Hocus Pocus 2 arrive on Disney Plus<\/a>, with all three original leads reuniting for the much-anticipated project.<\/p>\n

Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles as the sinister Sanderson Sisters, who will once again be wreaking havoc on the town of Salem, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Once again, it will be down to a group of school kids to put an end to their reign of terror, with rising stars Whitney Peak (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina<\/a>), Belissa Escobedo (American Horror Stories<\/a>) and newcomer Lilia Buckingham playing the young heroes.<\/p>\n

Also joining the Hocus Pocus family for this belated instalment are Ted Lasso<\/a> star Hannah Waddingham, Arrested Development\u2019s Tony Hale and Veep\u2019s Sam Richardson.<\/p>

Check out the Hocus Pocus 2 teaser trailer below, that should have no trouble drumming up excitement for the new film, which will forego a cinema release to land directly on\u00a0Disney Plus in September.<\/p>\n\n<p>The original Hocus Pocus film came out back in 1993 and was initially deemed a disappointment by Disney after failing to drive ticket sales at the box office.<\/p>\n<p>However, the film has become a cult favourite in subsequent decades, with many people making a cherished tradition out of watching it every year as part of their Halloween celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>Original director Kenny Ortega is not returning for Hocus Pocus 2 with Anne Fletcher taking over the reins, whose previous projects include dance flick Step Up, romcom 27 Dresses and action-comedy Hot Pursuit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hocus Pocus 2 comes to Disney Plus on Friday 30th September 2022.
