Tony Hale and Hannah Waddingham join the cast of Hocus Pocus 2
The duo is joining Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy in the Disney+ sequel
Despite being a straight-to-streaming movie, Disney is throwing some real weight behind Hocus Pocus 2, its long-awaited sequel to the 1993 witch movie. Original stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, and Bette Midler are all returning—despite the fact that one of them is Bette Midler—and earlier this month we heard that the always-great Sam Richardson had joined the cast as well.
Now, perhaps as a nod to the fact that today is Halloween (one of the top five spookiest days of the year), Disney has confirmed more of the cast of Disney+’s Hocus Pocus sequel. In addition to those four aforementioned people (Bette Midler!), Hocus Pocus 2 will feature Tony Hale, Hannah Waddingham, Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham, Belissa Escobedo, Juju Brener, Froy Guiterrez, Taylor Henderson, and Nina Kitchen. Doug Jones, who appeared in the original movie as the zombie Billy Butcherson, also announced that he’ll be returning, though the Disney+ tweet didn’t specifically call him out like it did with the main trio of witches.
