Disney
The latest trailer for Hocus Pocus 2 rolled out Friday at Disney’s D23 Expo in Anaheim, California. The nearly two-minute trailer shows the Sanderson Sisters as three young women banished from Salem “forever” 370 years ago. On her 16th birthday, Winifred Sanderson is given the infamous spell book by an older witch.
In the present day, another 16-year-old girl receives her witch powers and lights the black flame candle, bringing the Sanderson Sisters back to Salem.
Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy return in the sequel to the cult classic. It’s set to be released on Disney Plus on Sept. 30. You can watch the entire trailer below before it hits Disney’s streaming service.
D23 has so far seen Disney announce an expansion to Disneyland’s Avenger’s Campus, new movie Mufasa: The Lion King, a teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, Pixar’s Inside Out 2, a new Disney animation called Iwájú and more.
