Hocus Pocus 2 Plot
The original story is on three witch sisters condemned in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1693. Max Dennison accidentally resurrects them 300 years later. Though they attempt to adapt, they are appalled to hear that Halloween has been elevated to a holiday.
Additionally, the Sanderson sisters only have one night to ensure their safety. While pursuing their objective, they wreak devastation on the city before crumbling into dust. However, Winnie’s spellbook does open its eye towards the finale, implying that the sisters have not perished completely.
It would be interesting to see how the sisters deal with the twenty-first century, especially with its technical improvements, in the sequel. Additionally, contrasting the past and present sounds like an intriguing notion.
However, because of the story’s broad range, it may be taken in various paths. Given the original film’s cult reputation, it’s reasonable to expect the tale will share a predictable arc of resurrection and future changes.
Hocus Pocus 2 Trailer
We’re still a long way from seeing a trailer, but why not watch the original film’s trailer, which is available on Disney+ while you’re here.
Where to watch Hocus Pocus 2?
When Hocus Pocus 2 is launched, it will be available exclusively on Disney+. The streaming service may be purchased alone or as part of the Disney Bundle, including access to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
