In May, Disney made it official. The original Sanderson Sisters will be back next year for Disney's "Hocus Pocus 2."

Bette Midler, who played Winifred Sanderson in the original 1993 "Hocus Pocus" movie, will be joined by her original co-stars, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy in the sequel that will be released on Disney+ in Fall 2022.

"Sistaaaahs! It's been 300 years... But we’re BACK!" Midler tweeted

While "Hairspray" director Adam Shankman was originally lined up to direct, he's been replaced by "Step Up" director Anne Fletcher. Production on the movie will begin this fall.
