Here’s everything to know about ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ coming to Disney+, including intel on the release date, cast, and trailer.
Please bring back Thackery Binx. The original Hocus Pocus was technically a theatrical flop when it debuted in the 1990s. But time and distance (and repeated viewings every Halloween on the Disney Channel and Disney+) have morphed it into a timeless classic. Now, Disney+ is making a sequel: Hocus Pocus 2. So, let’s run down everything known about the project so far. Ever since Disney+ launched, the rumors about a potential Hocus Pocus 2 have been swirling. The streaming service was initially launched by focusing on newer franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But the potential to start mining older beloved films in the studio’s vast library was always in the cards. It was just a matter of how, when, and if any of the original stars would be back. The idea of a Hocus Pocus 2 got a second boost when Freeform did a 25th anniversary special, which brought back many of the stars from the movie. That proved enough good feeling among those involved with the first film that a potential sequel could convince at least some of the original cast to sign on.
