The countdown is begun! On September 30, 2022, Disney’s first live-action comedy, “Hocus Pocus 2,” will premiere. As part of the Hallowstream event on Disney+, the movie will have its world premiere there alone.

For a fresh look at Bette Midler (“The First Wives Club,” “Beaches”), Sarah Jessica Parker (“Sex and the City,” “Divorce”), and Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act,” “Younger”) as the delightfully evil Sanderson sisters, check out the new key art for the eerie sequel to the Halloween classic.

The 17th-century sisters have been awakened and are seeking retribution 29 year after someone lighted the Black Flame Candle. Before All Hallow’s Eve dawn, three high school kids must stop the ravaging witches from unleashing a brand-new type of mayhem on Salem.

Along with Tony Hale from “Veep” and Hannah Waddingham from “Teen Wolf,” “Hocus Pocus 2” also stars Sam Richardson from “The Tomorrow War,” Doug Jones from “The Shape of Water,” Whitney Peak from “Gossip Girl,” Belissa Escobedo from “American Horror Stories,” Lilia Buckingham from “Dirt,” and Froy Gutierrez from “Teen Wolf” (“Ted Lasso”).

Anne Fletcher (“Dumplin,” “The Proposal”) is the director; Lynn Harris (“King Richard,” “The Shallows”) is the producer; and Adam Shankman (“Disenchanted,” “Hairspray”), Ralph Winter (“Hocus Pocus,” the “X-Men” franchise), David Kirschner (“Hocus Pocus,” “Chucky”), and Lynn Harris (“King Richard,” “The Shallows”) are the executive producers.
