Hocus Pocus 3 Still in Idea Phase at Disney

Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler, and Kathy Najimy have all expressed eagerness to return as the Sanderson sisters in a potential Hocus Pocus 3, with ongoing discussions among the cast and creative team. Both screenwriter Jen D’Angelo and director Anne Fletcher are expected to return if the project moves forward. Despite the success of Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+, production on a third film remains in the early 'idea phase,' and Disney has not yet officially greenlit the sequel. The story and possible new characters are still being explored, and the cast has urged Disney to move quickly due to their advancing ages. The continued enthusiasm from both the cast and creators suggests that Hocus Pocus 3 is likely, though no production timeline has been set. Fans should not expect an imminent return of the Sanderson sisters.
