Disney is developing “Hocus Pocus 3,” according to multiple reports. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are set to reprise their roles as the Sanderson sisters, returning as the film moves through early development at Disney Live Action Studios. Variety reports that development is officially underway and notes that the project was first announced in 2023, following the success of “Hocus Pocus 2,” which launched on Disney+. Deadline adds that while the franchise previously moved to streaming with the second installment, Disney is considering a theatrical distribution component for “Hocus Pocus 3,” marking a potential change in release strategy. Other coverage frames the project as building on audience interest generated by the original 1993 film and the 2022 Disney+ sequel. The sources agree the cast will include the original leading trio, but they do not provide confirmed details on production start dates, scripts, or release timing. Any additional casting and creative specifics have not been reported in these accounts.
