Approximately 30 years after the initial movie’s release, Hocus Pocus 2 made its Disney+ debut on Friday and stars the original Sanderson Sisters.
All three of the witches from the 1990 film are present in the 2022 version, along with Doug Jones’ interpretation of Billy Butcherson, a well-known zombie. Other new cast members include Gossip Girl’s Whitney Peak, who plays Becca, and American Horror Stories’ Belissa Escobedo, who plays Izzy.
The original witches Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy now return in the sequel alongside Doug Jones as the amiable zombie Billy Butcherson. At the time, D’Angelo was tasked with finding a way to bring the witches back.
Sarah admitted during a Q&A session at the New York film screening that she never imagined a sequel would ever happen.
