Hocus Pocus 3: Everything we know so far about Disney film

Hocus Pocus 3 is coming as the Sanderson sisters will return to create more chaos. Disney+ is making the third installment of Hocus Pocus, according to reports.

In an interview with The New York Times, President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production Sean Bailey confirmed the development, as per a Deadline report.

The first movie, Hocus Pocus, was released in 1993. It was directed by Kenny Ortega. Hocus Pocus follows a story where a teenage boy resurrected three witches on the Halloween night.


Hocus Pocus was not a successful venture at the box office. However, throughout the years, the film achieved a cult status after a number of airings on ABC Family, and Disney Channel.

A sequel to the 1993 film, Hocus Pocus 2, was released on 2022. Hocus Pocus 2 became a successful movie on Disney+ platform with 2.7 billion minutes of viewing.

Hocus Pocus 2 was directed by Anne Fletcher.

Meanwhile, Hollywood's major studios reached a tentative labor agreement with the union representing film and television directors, likely averting a work stoppage that would have piled pressure on media companies to settle with striking writers, as per a Reuters report.

The Directors Guild of America (DGA) will ask its 19,000 members to approve the three-year contract, which was announced late on Saturday after three weeks of talks.

The agreement includes gains in wages and residuals plus guardrails around the use of artificial intelligence, according to the DGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents Netflix, Walt Disney Co and other major studios.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has been on strike since May 2, shutting down several TV and film productions, and has no new talks scheduled with the studios.

During the last WGA strike in 2007 and 2008, a studio deal with the DGA prompted writers to head back to the bargaining table. On Friday, WGA negotiator Chris Keyser argued that strategy would not work this time.
