People Editorial Guidelines Published on June 28, 2022 09:17AM EDT The Sanderson Sisters are back! On Tuesday, Disney released its first teaser trailer for Hocus Pocus 2 — the highly anticipated sequel to the 1993 comedy that drops on the company's streaming platform, Disney+, on Sept. 30. Stars Bette Midler, 76, Sarah Jessica Parker, 57, and Kathy Najimy, 65, all return for the film, reprising their iconic role as the trio of witches hungry to suck the souls out of the children of Salem, Massachusetts to achieve their eternal youth. "Lock up your children," Midler's character Winifred shouts in the teaser, after the Black Flame Candle is once again lit, resurrecting her and her sisters. "Yes, Salem, we're back!" The ladies later swing by what appears to be an outdoor Halloween carnival, where they're immediately recognized by one of the fair's staffers. "Hey, it's the Sanderson Sisters," he says. "I bet you're looking for the stage?" "Always," Midler says, implying that another musical performance — a la "I Put a Spell on You" from the original movie — will be on the way.
