By Mads Lennon
The Sanderson sisters look better than ever in this first official photo released for the upcoming Disney+ sequel Hocus Pocus 2.
Sistaaaaahs! They’re back! As part of the Disney+ Day celebration to mark the second anniversary of the streaming platform, Disney+ unveiled our first official look at the bewitching Sanderson sisters, finally reuniting Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker as Winnie, Sarah and Mary, respectively.
It has been almost 30 years since the cult classic was initially released in 1993 and we’re finally starting to get real content regarding the highly-anticipated sequel.

As you can see these ladies look amazing like they haven’t aged a day! Clad in their signature outfits, all three actresses are currently filming the sequel, which is in production in Rhode Island right now.
1428 Elm previously reported that several new cast members had been added to the second movie, including Gossip Girl‘s Whitney Peak and Ted Lasso‘s Hannah Waddingham. Sam Richardson, who recently starred in the hilarious horror-comedy film Werewolves Within, has joined the cast alongside Tony Hale, Juju Brener, Froy Gutierrez, Taylor Henderson, Belissa Escobedo, Lilia Buckingham and Nina Kitchen.

Hocus Pocus 2 release date
While we’ve all been guessing that Disney would aim to release the new Hocus Pocus during the fall season after it was announced that the movie would have a 2022 release date, Disney+ day confirms that Hocus Pocus 2 is slated for a Fall 2022 release date. We don’t have an exact day yet but I’m assuming the film will come out in September or October.
