The three stars reunite to portray their beloved characters Winifred, Sarah and Mary Fans finally get a little taste of what’s to come for these wicked witches in the official teaser trailer.
Hocus Pocus first debuted in 1993, telling the story of three wicked sisters in Salem, Mass., who spent 300 years asleep before the lighting of the Black Flame Candle, which resurrects them on All Hallow’s Eve with a full moon in the sky. They face off against young Max Dennison (Omri Katz) and sister Dani (Thora Birch), who must stop the witches from becoming immortal before the sun rises. Kenny Ortega directed the original. Anne Fletcher will direct the sequel.

The cast of the sequel includes Ted Lassostar Hannah Waddingham, Tony Hale, Sam Richardson, Doug Jones, Whitney Peak and Drag Race queens Ginger Minj, Kahmora Hall and Kornbread “The Snack” Jeté.
