TBH, I didn't think nor expecting this was going to happen, but it is. Disney Studios president Sean Bailey announced there is going to be a 3rd film in the "Hocus Pocus" franchise in development. Bette Midler said if a 3rd film was to happen, she would happily return. As of now though, "Hocus Pocus 2" director Anne Fletcher and writer Jen D'Angelo will be returning for the new film.
