It looks like *Hocus Pocus 3* is inching closer to reality—though a release date remains elusive. Sarah Jessica Parker recently addressed the long-awaited sequel in an interview with Andy Cohen on *Watch What Happens Live*, offering a promising update: “No more developments other than we would like to do it. We’ve been having some conversations.”
Originally released in 1993, the cult classic was directed by Kenny Ortega and written by Neil Cuthbert and horror legend Mick Garris—a fun fact for fans of the genre. What began as a modest family film quickly evolved into a beloved Halloween staple for a generation. The story follows the mischievous Sanderson Sisters—Winifred, Mary, and Sarah—who are accidentally brought back to life by a skeptical teen on All Hallows' Eve, setting off a chaotic quest to protect the town’s children.
Cast and Crew Returning
The original trio—Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker—all reprised their iconic roles in the 2022 sequel, *Hocus Pocus 2*, which only fueled excitement for another installment. In 2023, Sean Bailey, President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, officially confirmed that a third film is in development. Director Anne Fletcher and screenwriter Jen D’Angelo are also set to return, keeping the creative momentum alive.Why the Wait?
Despite the confirmation, progress has been slow. Last year, Bette Midler herself acknowledged the delay, telling *Busy This Week* on QVC+: “I’ve heard rumblings—but nothing set in stone.” With characteristic humor and urgency, she added, “I think if they’re gonna do it, they oughta—because time isn’t just marching. Time is barrel-assing to the finish line. Get us while we’re still breathing, I mean, God!”Given how integral the original cast is to the magic of *Hocus Pocus*, fans agree: there’s no version of this story without the Sanderson Sisters. As anticipation builds, one thing is clear—the demand is there. Now it’s up to Disney to make it happen before the spell fades.
