Hocus Pocus 2 is a 2022 American supernatural comedy film directed by Anne Fletcher, written by Jen D'Angelo and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. A sequel to the 1993 film Hocus Pocus, it stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, and Doug Jones[3] reprising their roles while Sam Richardson, Whitney Peak, Belissa Escobedo, Tony Hale, and Hannah Waddingham join the cast in new roles.
Filming took place from October 2021 to January 2022 in Rhode Island, replacing Salem, Massachusetts. It was released on Disney+ on September 30, 2022.[4] Unlike the original, the film received a mixed-to-positive response from critics, praising the cast performances, and humor, but criticized the plot.
Plot[]
 | This section may be too long and excessively detailed. |
In 1653, a young Winifred Sanderson is banished from Salem by Reverend Traske. Rather than let her sisters, Mary and Sarah, be taken away from her, Winifred escapes with them to a nearby forbidden forest. There, they make the acquaintance of Mother Witch who gifts Winifred her magic book for her sixteenth birthday but explicitly warns the sisters against casting a spell known as the Magicae Maxima. Mother Witch also teaches the sisters to kill other children to keep their youthfulness.
In 2022, twenty-nine years after the Sanderson sisters were resurrected by the Black Flame Candle,[lower-alpha 1] two Salem teenagers named Becca and Izzy prepare to celebrate both Halloween and Becca's sixteenth birthday but turn down a party invitation from their friend Cassie Traske, from whom they are estranged. Becca and Izzy visit a magic shop (formerly the Sanderson cottage) run by Gilbert, who gifts Becca a candle for their annual ritual. Becca and Izzy light the candle and discover that it is another Black Flame Candle. As there is a full moon and the girls are both virgins, the candle resurrects the Sanderson sisters once again.
The girls manage to outwit the sisters in a local Walgreens and then escape to the magic shop where they discover that Gilbert purposely gave them the candle in hopes of reviving the sisters, having seen them on Halloween back in 1993 and been taught how to make the candle by Book. The sisters catch up to the girls and see a campaign flyer belonging to Mayor Traske, Cassie's father and Reverend Traske's direct descendant. Winifred decides they will cast the Magicae Maxima spell to eliminate Traske and take revenge on Salem. The sisters trap Izzy and Becca in the basement and task Gilbert with collecting the ingredients for the spell while they hunt down Traske, his blood also being necessary to complete the spell.
The girls escape and head to the Traske house to warn the mayor while the sisters find their way to the town's Halloween carnival and enchant the citizens to help them find the mayor. Meanwhile, Gilbert digs up Billy Butcherson, who reveals he has been awake but entombed since 1993. Gilbert needs Billy's head for the spell but tells him that he's trying to defeat the sisters, recruiting Billy's help by promising to tell everyone the truth regarding his relationship with Winifred (as they only kissed once).
The girls reunite with Cassie and manage to trap the sisters within a salt circle in Cassie's garage before Mayor Traske returns home and unintentionally reveals that Cassie is also a descendant of Reverend Traske. The three teenagers then make amends with one another but their reunion is short-lived when a pair of enchanted roombas that Mary had been flying release them from the circle. They kidnap Cassie and escape to the forbidden forest where Gilbert has assembled the ingredients (including Billy's head) for the spell. Becca and Izzy arrive shortly after, and they discover that Becca is also a witch. Becca distracts the sisters while Izzy rescues Cassie. The spell is partially cast and the sisters' powers are now increased. However, Becca manages to convince Book that it does not have to answer to Winifred. Book flees to Becca and they escape further into the forest. Book shows them a warning about the Magicae Maxima spell, stating that whoever casts it must give up what they cherish most.
The girls agree to warn Winifred of the price of the spell, but they arrive too late as she has already finished casting it, seemingly allowing the witches to live through sunrise and wreak havoc on Salem. It is revealed that the price of the spell is Mary and Sarah, as the two fade into dust. Winifred grows despondent and begs the teenagers to use their newfound powers to save her sisters. Becca, Cassie and Izzy join together in a coven and cast a reuniting spell. Winifred is confused when her sisters do not reappear until Becca explains that the spell does not bring Sarah and Mary back but sends Winifred to them. Winifred laughs in delight as she, too, fades away to be reunited with her sisters.
The girls are joined by Gilbert, who reunited Billy's head with his body. Billy also starts to fade away, realizing that all of Winifred's spells have been undone. Before he vanishes completely, Gilbert promises to keep his word to Billy and tell people his story. The girls decide to give Book a new home and continue practicing their magic as they walk off into the night in a similar manner as the Sanderson sisters. As they leave, a bird identical to the one that Mother Witch had shapeshifted into flies overhead.
In a post-credits scene, Cobweb, Gilbert's black cat, hops onto a shelf where another black candle sits, hinting of the Sandersons' eventual return.

Production[]
Development[]
In July 2014, it was announced that The Walt Disney Company was developing a supernatural-themed film about witches, and that Tina Fey was on board as a producer and star. However, Deadline Hollywood debunked rumors that the film was a sequel to Hocus Pocus.[11] In November 2014, Bette Midler said in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" that she was ready and willing to return for a sequel as Winifred Sanderson. She also said her co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy were interested in reprising the roles of Sarah and Mary Sanderson as well, but stressed that Disney had yet to greenlight any sequel, encouraging fans of the original film to persuade Disney to make one.[12] In November 2015, Midler stated in a Facebook Q&A that "after all these years and all the fan demand, I do believe I can stand and firmly say an unequivocal no" in response to a question about a sequel.[13]
In June 2016, actor Doug Jones mentioned that Disney had been considering a sequel, and behind the scenes discussions were in place to possibly continue the series.[14] In October 2016, while promoting her HBO show Divorce, Sarah Jessica Parker was asked by Andy Cohen about a sequel. Her response was "I would love that. I think we've been very vocal that we're very keen", yet she insisted that fans should encourage Disney to develop a sequel.[15] In Hocus Pocus in Focus: The Thinking Fan's Guide to Disney's Halloween Classic, author Aaron Wallace identifies several potential approaches for a sequel, but notes that the project's biggest challenge is the Walt Disney Studios' interest in tentpole projects that promise very high box office returns.[16]
In September 2017, Hocus Pocus writer Mick Garris admitted that he was working on a script for Hocus Pocus 2 after years of rumors and speculation and that it would potentially be developed as a television film for Disney Channel, Freeform or ABC.[17] It was later confirmed that it would be instead a remake to air on Freeform, with The Royals writer Scarlett Lacey attached to write and the original film producer David Kirschner executive producing, with original director Kenny Ortega not expected to be involved.[18][19] The following month, Midler said she was not fond of the idea of a remake and she would not be taking part in it regardless she was offered some kind of role or not, expressing doubts on how they would be able to successfully recast her role as Winifred Sanderson.[20]
In February 2018, Jones revealed that there had been talks to do a sequel set twenty years after the original film and that he was approached to be involved on it, though he admitted that he is still interested on reprising his role as Billy Butcherson.[21] In July 2018, a book titled Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel was released, containing a novelization of the film and a sequel story. The sequel focuses on Max and Allison's daughter, Poppy, who grew up hearing the family story of the original film and parents who avoid Halloween as much as possible. Poppy is skeptical of the tale and ends up in the Sanderson house on Halloween, twenty-five years to the day after the movie, in an attempt to prove there is nothing to the story.[22]
In October 2019, a sequel was announced to be in development as a Disney+ exclusive film, with a screenplay written by Jen D'Angelo.[23] In March 2020, Adam Shankman signed on to direct Hocus Pocus 2 concurrently to his work on the Enchanted sequel Disenchanted.[24]
Casting[]
On November 1, 2019, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy expressed interest in reprising their roles as the Sanderson sisters in the sequel.[25] In September 2020, Midler revealed that she has entered talks to return in the film as Winifred,[26] and in October 2020, she confirmed that she will return alongside Parker and Najimy,[6] though their returns were not officially confirmed until May 2021.[27] In October 2021, it was announced that Taylor Paige Henderson had been cast as one of the three leads.[28] Shortly afterwards, Sam Richardson was reported to be in final negotiations to join the cast in an undisclosed role.[29] That same month, Tony Hale has joined the cast as the mayor of Salem, Jefry Traske.[8] The full supporting cast was confirmed on October 31, 2021, including Hannah Waddingham and the return of Doug Jones, who portrayed William "Billy" Butcherson in the original film.[7][30] In March 2022, it was announced that Thora Birch would not be reprising the role of Dani Dennison from the previous film.[31] Birch later revealed she would have appeared in the film but couldn't due to a scheduling conflict.[32] In the summer of that year, it was then announced that Jason Marsden, Larry Bagby, Tobias Jelinek, Omri Katz, and Vinessa Shaw would also not be reprising their roles as Thackery Binx, Ice, Jay, Max, and Allison, respectively.[33][34][35]
Pre-production[]
On October 29, 2020, Midler stated that a story outline for the sequel has been completed, which she praised as "pretty great" along with Najimy and Jessica Parker.[36] On November 3, Midler revealed that the producers are trying to re-hire several members of the first film's production team that are alive and hadn't retired, as they felt much of the success of the first film came from the work of the behind-the-scenes team.[37] In April 2021, Anne Fletcher replaced Shankman as the director due to his directing duties with Disenchanted, although he did remain as an executive producer on the film.[38]
Filming[]
Production was scheduled to begin in the middle of 2021, in Salem, Massachusetts.[39] In September 2021, sets for Hocus Pocus 2 were confirmed being built at Chase Farms in Lincoln, Rhode Island,[40] and Washington Square in Newport, Rhode Island. Filming began on October 18, 2021, in Providence, Rhode Island, under the working title Black Flame.[41][42]
Footage was leaked on November 2, 2021.[43] Filming also took place on November 8, 2021, in Newport's Washington Square taking place in a modern Salem, Massachusetts.[44] On December 10, 2021, filming began in Federal Hill, which was transformed with a Halloween-themed backdrop.[45] On January 26, 2022, Midler took to social media confirming that filming had been completed.[46][47]
Music[]
In October 2021, it was announced that John Debney, the composer of the original film, was set to return to score the sequel.[48] The soundtrack, which features two new songs in addition to Debney’s score, was released digitally on September 30, 2022 and will be released physically on November 11, 2022.[49]

Marketing[]
The first teaser trailer was released on June 28, 2022.[50] The teaser trailer reached 43.6 million views in its first 24 hours while on Twitter, the #HocusPocus became a top trend of the day on Twitter following the teaser's debut. The social media conversation was also the most gender balanced of the comps at 51 percent male and 49 percent female.[51] On August 29, 2022, a first look at Doug Jones as Billy was released showing the character resurrected again by the Sanderson sisters.[52] On September 9, 2022, the official trailer for the film premiered at the 2022 D23 Expo and was released online afterward.[53] On September 21, 2022, the first look at RuPaul's Drag Race trio as the Sanderson Sisters plus a new brand poster were released.[54][55]
Release[]
Hocus Pocus 2 was released on September 30, 2022 on Disney+.[56][4]
Reception[]
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 61% based on 95 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Hocus Pocus 2 is basically a boiling cauldron of nostalgia, but that's more than enough for this belated sequel to cast a reasonably effective spell."[57] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 55 out of 100 based on 29 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[58]
Helen O'Hara of Empire Magazine gave the film two stars out of five, saying, "This is just as unevenly plotted as the original, lacks even the element of surprise, and is not by any reasonable standard “good”. Between gooey and ghoulish, there must be better options."[59] In a "B-" review, Jude Dry of IndieWire wrote, "Unfortunately, their mean streaks seem to have softened over the years, and the movie relies on a manufactured sisterly bond to wrap things up. The script adds a saccharine sweetness along with its teen feminist morality play, as if it’s far too aware of sending a message. Some things, it seems, are better left buried."[60] Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave the film two stars out of four, writing, "Bette Midler returns with her child-killing sisters in a disappointingly flat follow-up that tries too hard to soften the villains."[61]
