With each passing year since its original release in 1993, Hocus Pocus has only grown in popularity. That’s why it should come as no surprise that the upcoming sequel, Hocus Pocus 2, has quite a bit of buzz surrounding it considering how long fans have been waiting for it to happen – and now we have a new trailer to make fans even more excited.
Being released right out of the D23 expo, the new trailer reveals the origin of the Sanderson Sisters and brings Billy Butcherson back to life.
Check it out below:
“It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters, and they are looking for revenge. Now it is up to three high-school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow’s Eve.”
Anne Fletcher directed the film from a screenplay by Jen D’Angelo.
The cast for the film stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as the original Sanderson Sisters.
The cast also includes Whitney Peak as Becca, Lilia Buckingham as Cassie, and Belissa Escobedo as Izzy. Sam Richardson also stars along with Tony Hale, Hannah Waddingham, Froy Gutierrez, Juju Brener, Taylor Paige Henderson, and Nina Kitchen. Doug Jones will return as Billy Butcherson.
