The premiere date for “Hocus Pocus 2” and new footage was shared this week during Disney’s upfronts presentation, according to reports.
"It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters who were executed for practicing witchcraft, and they are looking for revenge," a synopsis for the new film reads. "Now it is up to three high-school students to figure out how to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before midnight on All Hallow’s Eve.
During Disney’s upfronts presentation, rough-cut footage of "Hocus Pocus 2" was shared with the audience, according to Entertainment Weekly. It showed two young girls lighting the Black Flame Candle, which summons the witches as Midler screams, "Lock up your children! Yes, Salem, we're back!" The sisters then launch into a song, a cover of Elton John's "The B**** Is Back," while Billy Butcherson, played by Doug Jones, and an unnamed character played by Sam Richardson appear, according to the outlet. Tony Hale, who plays the mayor of Salem, was also featured in the teaser.
"Hocus Pocus 2" was written by Jen D’Angelo, who served as a writer and co-producer on the Comedy Central series "Workaholics," among other projects. It was produced by Lynn Harris , with Adam Shankman , Ralph Winter and David Kirschner serving as executive producers.All the news you need to know, every day
