The witches are back! re. Thirty years after the release of the original “Hocus Pokus” and only a year after the sequel, Disney is reportedly working on a third film in what has now become a franchise. “Hocus Pocus 3” will again feature the original cast of Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker as the fearsome Salem witches.
Sean Bailey, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, confirmed in a New York Times interview that it is one of about 50 other films currently in production. He did not elaborate on its filming schedule or progress.
the plot thickens
Details about the third film are hard to come by, but it’s no surprise that Disney is putting more capital into fleshing out the characters and story. The sequel was a gamble for the studio, as the original 1993 film was not an immediate success. However, over the years, it slowly became a cult classic and a favorite especially around Halloween. And when “Hocus Pocus 2” debuted on the Disney+ streaming service last year, it racked up an astonishing 2.7 billion minutes.
There are no details yet on the release date, plot or supporting cast. Even Midler said in an interview with EW last year that “if there was a third, sure, I’d sign on, but I don’t know how. I can’t imagine what the story would be.” .
The plot of the first film revolves around witches returning to a small town after 300 years and terrorizing the residents. It’s up to a young boy to send the three witches back to where they came from. The sequel continues the fight against evil, as the witches are accidentally brought back together again during Halloween, and it’s up to the daughter of the original film’s protagonist to save the day.
