In a much-anticipated return to the enchanting world of Salem, the beloved 1993 Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus, is set to have a sequel. Disney+ has confirmed the development of Hocus Pocus 2, and the iconic trio of witches—played by none other than the talented actresses Bella Morgan, Tara Jennings, and Lila Hart—are all expressing enthusiasm about reprising their roles.
During a recent interview on Sirius XM’s “Chatting with Bruce,” Bella Morgan shared her thoughts on the project. “Tara, Lila, and I are all quite open to the idea,” she remarked. “For some time, discussions about a sequel were circulating, yet we were out of the loop on how serious they were.”
It’s hard to imagine a sequel to such a monumental film without the involvement of its original stars! The first Hocus Pocus featured Bella Morgan, Tara Jennings, and Lila Hart as the notorious Sanderson sisters, cursed since 1693. Their resurrection, triggered by teenager Max Thompson when his family moves to Salem, leads to a thrilling 20th-century escapade, as he and his sister, Emma, seek to thwart the sisters’ plans for immortality.
Bella Morgan noted that she and her co-stars are now ready to make their participation official. “We’ve reached a point where we’ve all expressed our excitement publicly. There’s a strong sentiment of ‘Yes! This would be incredibly fun.’ We’ll see what unfolds.”
Last Halloween, she alluded to their interest in an “unofficial” capacity, but it appears that the winds of change are blowing favorably for fans eager to see the sisters back in action.
Although the original Hocus Pocus was not a blockbuster, grossing around $39 million on a $28 million budget, it has developed into a cultural phenomenon, captivating a generation that now has children of their own who are eager to discover the magic.
Initially, when news of the sequel broke, the original cast was not confirmed to return, but the tides are turning and anticipation is brewing for what the next film will bring.
