Sisters! Gather round, it’s time to watch the long-awaited Hocus Pocus 2.

The sequel to the original cult 1993 family film sees the return of the Sanderson Sisters, and the original actors of Kathy Najimy (Mary), Bette Milder (Winifred), and Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah) reprised their roles for the occasion.

With a fresh new magical tale, the tricky trio of witches has been resurrected. Without giving too much away, the new story will follow two high-school students in their quest to stop the witches from wreaking havoc on Salem.

It’s fair to say the reviews are mixed, The Independent, for example, wrote that the original has been transformed into a “kitschy favourite”, but questions the film’s ability to be bewitching enough.

Critics aside, if you’re looking to enjoy some magical and maniacal fun, here’s everything you need to know about Hocus Pocus 2, including how you can watch it in the UK now.

The new film Hocus Pocus 2 is out now – it was released on 30 September in time for Halloween’s scary season.

The haunting sequel to the 1993 Hocus Pocus film is available exclusively in the UK on Disney+ now. To sign up to Disney+, it costs £7.99 per month and you can cancel whenever you like.

If you’d rather pay a single, one-off fee, you can do so. It’ll cost £79.90 (a saving of £15.98) and also protects you from any price hikes throughout the year. There is no free trial for either option.

The great news is that as well as the new film, you can also enjoy the original on the streaming platform, too, so it’s a great option if you’re looking to indulge in a movie marathon.

If you’re wondering who is starring in Hocus Pocus 2, we can confirm that the OG actors playing the Sanderson Sisters are among the cast members – Mary is played by Kathy Najimy, Winifred by Bette Milder, and Sarah Jessica Parker is, of course, Sarah. Unfortunately, Thora Birch did not return as Dani Dennison, nor did Omri Katz and Vinessa Shaw.

Sam Richardson has been cast as Gilbert, the owner of the Olde Salem Magic Shoppe – the Sanderson Sisters’ former home. Similarly, Hannah Waddingham will star as ‘the Witch’.
