Hocus Pocus 2: Hocus Pocus was an original creation of Walt Disney Pictures, released back in 1993. This American comedy film directed by Kenny Ortega, starred Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker, Omri Katz, Thora Birch, and Vinessa Shaw. When it was primarily released, Hocus Pocus did not receive a lot of appreciation. In fact, it received plenty of negative reviews, owing to which Disney lost around $17 million. This comedy film received its much-deserved recognition after Disney aired it on its channels, making the audience rediscover this film and realize its brilliance.
This film has gained fame over the last few years because of its broadcast on every Halloween. The story is based on three witches, who were accidentally revived by a boy from Salem, Massachusetts on a Halloween night. This film, because of its setting, has been replayed on many Halloweens because of which it is now considered a cult classic. After contemplating the fame it received, Disney decided to make a comeback of this classic after 27 years.
When Is Hocus Pocus 2 Releasing?
The official date hasn’t been confirmed yet. Sources say that the makers haven’t even started with the filming. This is most probably due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has halted a lot of other productions as well. We are hopeful that the production will resume once the situation comes under control. Disney will leave no stone unturned to make this release a huge success, and in order to do so, they need to make sure the entire filming procedure is perfect. Keeping all of this in mind, we are expecting the upcoming sequel to release somewhere in late 2021 or early 2022.
Who Will Be There In The Cast?
Even though nothing has been confirmed yet, fans can totally expect the three lead characters, Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson, Stephanie Faracy as Jenny Dennison, and Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson, to make a comeback in the next season. Apart from them, the other cast members aren’t confirmed yet. One might expect new characters to be seen in the next sequel depending on the plot.
Has There Been A Trailer Launch?
Walt Disney Studios have not launched any official teaser for Hocus Pocus Season 2 yet. We are guessing that the fans won’t get a glimpse of the sequel until and unless the filming winds up. We are hoping to get more substance from the makers, until then, stay tuned for further updates!
