Hocus Pocus 2, the sequel to the iconic Halloween movie, is set to release later this year, and Disney is delighting fans with its first teaser trailer.

“Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy reunite for the highly anticipated Disney+ Original Movie “Hocus Pocus 2.” The live-action, long awaited sequel to the perennial Halloween classic, which brings back the delightfully wicked Sanderson sisters for more comedic mayhem, will debut on Disney+ on September 30.

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.”

Hocus Pocus 2 sees the return of Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson sisters. The film is directed by Anne Fletcher, with a script from Jen D’Angelo.

Hocus Pocus was originally released in 1993 and is about the three Sanderson witch sisters being resurrected by a teenage boy 300 years after they were killed for consuming the souls of children. Seeking to take the souls of more children to stay alive and become even more powerful, they face off against a group of teens. Loved for its comedy and imagination, the film has gone on to become a Halloween cult classic.

The sequel sees three young women who accidentally revive the Sanderson Sisters who head out on another evil adventure to consume the souls of the children of Salem. It is up to those that freed them to stop the ancient witches from wreaking havoc on the modern world.

Hocus Pocus 2 will stream on Disney Plus starting on September 30th.
