HOCUS POCUS 2' STORYLINE It's been 29 years since we've watched Hollywood legends Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as the evil Sanderson sisters (witches) on Hocus Pocus. Now nearly three decades after the original, the anticipated sequel Hocus Pocus 2 has arrived just in time for Halloween on Disney.

The original cast will return to Salem after being unknowingly summoned by teenagers Becca, Izzy, and Cassie (played by Whitney Peak, Belissa Escobedo, and rising star Lilia Buckingham) who will take on the witches.

According to News24, the three friends will struggle with a rift between them as they prepare for an annual birthday ritual in the woods.

Dark forces will trick them into summoning the Sanderson Sisters once more, and they have to use the power of friendship to fight them off.

Actress Bette Midler revealed in an interview with Radio Times:

As soon as we walked on the set, the dynamic between the three of us was exactly as it was 30 years ago.

It's as if these characters lived with us for the last 30 years. It was a real thrill to come back and play these characters.

WHERE TO WATCH THE FILM? The popular film is available to stream now on Disney Plus after launching on the streaming platform on Friday 30 September. You can also catch up on the original Hocus Pocus, also available on the platform..

why are people being critical of a sequel to Hocus Pocus? The first film was a massive flop upon release and gained a cult following through the home release and being played yearly on cable. It s PURE camp and 90 s weirdness.. That s WHY I enjoyed #hocuspocus2 for being the same pic.twitter.com/6VL3GWoZfh
