Exciting New Announcement for Hocus Pocus Fans

We were not expecting this brand-new announcement, but we are ready for it!

New Content Coming

The recent wave of reboots has Disney fans looking for something a little new and different. Sure, it is interesting for a story to be retold with a new spin, but Disney fans are craving new stories, too! 

One way creative minds use existing stories to make new ones is through sequels. Disney recently announced that fans could expect sequels from popular franchises such as Zootopia, Frozen, and Toy Story. We also know that Inside Out is getting a sequel (although some of the voice actors are NOT returning).

Recently, Disney’s CFO, Christine McCarthy, announced that Disney+ would be limiting the amount of new content coming to the streaming platform. This had many concerned about what this may mean for new programming.

New Magic Is Brewing

Fans first met the Sanderson sisters in the Disney film “Hocus Pocus” in July of 1993. This film is just as popular today as it was when it first premiered. Last fall, fans enjoyed Hocus Pocus 2 which went straight to streaming on Disney+.

After the success of the film, many Hocus Pocus fans wondered if another film may be on the horizon. We were not expecting to receive this news today, but we were delighted to learn that a third Hocus Pocus film is in the works.

Today Brooks Barnes, a Hollywood Reporter for the New York Times, interviewed Sean Bailey. Sean Bailey has helped reimagine Disney’s beloved classics for years. He keeps pretty busy as he is working on 50+ movies at this time.

What we didn’t expect was a big news announcement amid this interview. Sean Bailey stated, “Yes, ‘Hocus Pocus 3’ is happening.” At this time we have no timeline for this project or news as to which stars may return for this film, but this is great news for all Hocus Pocus fans.

“Yes, ‘Hocus Pocus 3’ is happening.”
