Halloween magic is in the air again. News of Hocus Pocus 3 is officially stirring, with Bette Midler confirming that Disney’s spooky favorite is one step closer to reality. Following the record-breaking success of Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+, fans have eagerly awaited news about the next bewitching installment.

Hocus Pocus 3: Midler’s Exciting Update
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Bette Midler revealed that she has seen a “brilliant” script for Hocus Pocus 3. She added, “now we’re trying to figure out what it is and where it’s going to be and how much it’s going to cost and all those logistical things.”
Midler, who has long expressed her desire to return “while we’re still breathing,” seems more optimistic than ever. Her comments suggest that Disney has fast-tracked the long-rumored project after months of uncertainty.
The Original Hocus Pocus: Where to Watch
The original Hocus Pocus (1993) remains a Halloween favorite, introducing audiences to the mischievous Sanderson Sisters — Winifred, Sarah, and Mary — played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. Nearly three decades later, Hocus Pocus 2 rekindled that magic for a new generation.
Both Hocus Pocus films are currently streaming on Disney+, where fans can relive the witches’ hilarious hijinks before Hocus Pocus 3 takes flight. While the full cast has yet to be confirmed, Parker and Najimy have expressed interest in returning — meaning fans might see the original trio back on their broomsticks soon.
