‘Hocus Pocus 2’ will be arriving in a year and it’s already creating buzz. Disney+ Hotstar has officially released a first-look photo of Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy back in action as the Sanderson sisters. The Sanderson sisters will live to witch another day. But they’ll somehow have new characters to face in Hocus Pocus 2.
