Hocus Pocus 2was officiallyconfirmedin December duringDisney’s Investor Dayevent. The sequel, which comes from director Adam Shankman (Hairspray), picks up nearly 30 years after the events of the first film, in which teenager Max (Omri Katz) lit the Black Flame Candle, bringing the Sanderson sisters out of the 17th-century and into 1993 Salem, Mass.
The upcoming film follows a similar premise: teens Becca (Whitney Peak), Cassie (Lilia Buckingham), and Izzy (Belissa Escobedo) have to stop the Sanderson sisters once again after they accidentally summon them back to Salem, perEntertainment Weekly.
Along with Parker, Midler and Najimy, originalHocus Pocusstar Doug Jones is also returning for the sequel. Additional cast includes Hannah Waddingham, Tony Hale, Sam Richardson, Juju Brener, Froy Gutierrez, Taylor Paige Henderson and Nina Kitchen.
