"At the end of the day," Fletcher said, "this movie is about sisterhood. While it is great to see Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker on the Hocus Pocus 2 cast reprising their roles as the Sanderson Sisters, as well as Doug Jones as Billy. This is all brought on by Max, his sister Dani, and his crush Allison, played by Omri Katz, Thora Birch, and Vinessa Shaw. And yes, having three main characters (played by Whitney Peak, Belissa Escobedo and Lilia Buckingham) to parallel the Sanderson sisters was intentional.

A teenage boy named Max and his little sister move to Salem, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century. For example, Omri Katz’s Max Dennison, Vinessa Shaw’s Allison and Jason Marsden, who voices the cat Thackery Binx. ![]() So, how will the sequel be loyal to the beloved cult classic, starring Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker as the Sanderson sisters?
