Hocus Pocus 3 in early development with original Sanderson sisters
Disney has begun early development on Hocus Pocus 3, and Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are expected to reprise their Sanderson sisters, Deadline reports. The project is being developed as a theatrical release and would follow the 1993 original and the 2022 sequel. No director, writer, or production timeline has been announced. Bringing the original Sanderson actresses back reunites the franchise's central villains for a big-screen nostalgia draw and signals Disney's continued investment in legacy properties.

oh ffs just leave it alone!
First one is a Halloween classic but Disney whiffed the sequel, forgetting that you need a strong group of heroes to hold their own against the villains. Speaking of, the Sanderson sisters are supposed to be evil but the sequel made them soft. Was also a huge mistake not to put it in theatres.
I haven’t seen the second yet…
Well, I hope it’s better than the second one.
We need to stop watching these movies so these witches can finally rest.
Oh good. Another sequel no one asked for.
