These actors will star alongside new faces such as Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham, Sam Richardson, Froy Gutierrez, Tony Hale, Hannah Waddingham, Belissa Escobedo, Juju Brener, Taylor Henderson, and Nina Kitchen.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will tell the story of “three young women [who] accidentally bring the Sanderson Sisters back to modern-day Salem [and] must stop the child-hungry witches from causing a new kind of toil and trouble.”
We also know that the film will take place in Rhode Island due to reported sightings of filming and a statement from Rhode Island Governor Daniel J. McKee.
“On behalf of Rhode Island, I am proud and honored that again our beautiful state, with its unique scenery, landscapes, and local talent will be the backdrop for a major motion picture. Film and TV productions such as Hocus Pocus 2 have positive impacts on our businesses and move our economy in the right direction,” stated McKee.
With returning cast members, new faces, and an interesting plot, fans of the Hocus Pocus movie are excited about the upcoming movie.
