The Original Coven Returns: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy
Guys, you can't have a Hocus Pocus party without the Sanderson Sisters! The original coven, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, are back to stir up some serious trouble. These three witches have been causing chaos and delighting audiences for nearly three decades, and we couldn't be more thrilled to see them reunite.
Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson
Winifred, the eldest and most powerful Sanderson sister, is portrayed by the one and only Bette Midler. Known for her iconic voice and comedic timing, Midler brings Winifred to life with a mix of wit, wickedness, and just the right amount of camp. She's the mastermind behind the sisters' schemes, and we can't wait to see what she has in store for us this time around.
Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson
Sarah Jessica Parker returns as Sarah, the youngest and most romantic of the Sanderson sisters. With her dreamy demeanor and penchant for love potions, Sarah is the perfect foil to her sisters' scheming. Parker's charm and warmth make Sarah an endearing character, even when she's causing mischief.
Kathy Najimy as Mary Sanderson
Rounding out the coven is Kathy Najimy as Mary, the middle sister with a heart of gold (and a mean streak to match). Najimy brings a unique blend of humor and heart to Mary, making her a fan favorite. We're excited to see what new layers Najimy brings to Mary's character in the sequel.
New Faces in Salem: Meet the Hocus Pocus 2 Casting Additions
While the original cast is reason enough to celebrate, Hocus Pocus 2 is also bringing some fresh faces to Salem. Let's meet the new additions to the coven!
Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson
You know him from The Shape of Water and Hellboy, but now Doug Jones is bringing his unique talents to Salem as Billy Butcherson. The undead boyfriend of Winifred Sanderson, Billy is a fan-favorite character from the original film. We're excited to see Jones bring his signature grace and gravitas to the role.
Tony Hale as Mayor Transylvanian
Tony Hale, known for his roles in Veep and Arrested Development, is joining the cast as Mayor Transylvanian. As the mayor of Salem, he's sure to have his hands full with the Sanderson sisters running amok. Hale's comedic chops and affable persona make him the perfect foil to the sisters' antics.
Sam Richardson as Gilbert
Sam Richardson, another Veep alum, is joining the cast as Gilbert, a new character created for the sequel. While details about Gilbert's role are scarce, we can't wait to see what kind of trouble (or help) he brings to the table.
The Kids Are Alright: The Next Generation of Salem's Teens
No Hocus Pocus film would be complete without a group of intrepid teens to thwart the Sanderson sisters' plans. Let's meet the young cast of Hocus Pocus 2!
Lilia Buckingham as Izzy
Lilia Buckingham is set to play Izzy, one of the three young protagonists in the film. While details about Izzy's character are under wraps, we know that she, along with her friends, will play a crucial role in stopping the sisters' evil schemes.
Cody Rifkind as Max
Cody Rifkind is taking on the role of Max, the new kid in town who finds himself entangled in the sisters' plans. We're sure Max will have a few tricks up his sleeve to outsmart the coven.
Gwenyth Paltrow as a Mysterious Newcomer
Yes, you read that right! Gwyneth Paltrow is joining the cast of Hocus Pocus 2 in a mysterious new role. While details are scarce, we can't wait to see what Paltrow brings to the table. Could she be a new ally for the sisters, or a thorn in their side?
A Whole New Spell: What to Expect from Hocus Pocus 2
With a fresh cast of characters and the original coven back in action, Hocus Pocus 2 promises to be a spellbinding sequel. While the plot is still under wraps, we can expect plenty of laughs, scares, and magical mayhem. After all, it's not every day that a group of witches takes over your town!
So, mark your calendars, dust off your black cats, and get ready to light the black flame candle. Hocus Pocus 2 is coming, and we can't wait to see what enchanting adventures await us in Salem.
