The Sanderson Sisters Could Return! Bette Midler Hints at Hocus Pocus 3 Script

The cauldrons are bubbling, and the spellbooks are stirring! Fans of the iconic Sanderson Sisters have fresh reasons to rejoice, as the incomparable Bette Midler has openly expressed her enthusiastic interest in a potential 'Hocus Pocus 3'. Following the monumental success of last year's 'Hocus Pocus 2', the Divine Miss M herself, who brilliantly embodies the formidable Winifred Sanderson, has indicated her eagerness to reunite with her bewitching co-stars for another round of enchanting chaos.

Speaking recently, Midler didn't hold back her excitement.

"If there was a third one, of course I’d sign on, but I don’t know how. I can’t imagine what the story would be, but I love Winifred, Sarah, Mary, and our relationship," she conveyed, highlighting the deep bond she shares with Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson) and Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson).

This sentiment resonates deeply with fans who cherished seeing the beloved trio back on screen after nearly three decades.

The 2022 sequel, which premiered exclusively on Disney+, wasn't just a nostalgic trip; it was a cultural phenomenon. 'Hocus Pocus 2' shattered records, becoming the most-watched film debut on Disney+ within its first three days, a testament to the enduring appeal of the original 1993 cult classic.

Its success undeniably paved the way for discussions surrounding a third installment, proving that the world is more than ready for more witchy escapades from Salem's most notorious siblings.

Midler’s willingness isn't just about reprising a role; it’s about rekindling a magical collaboration.

She described the experience of making the sequel as "seamless and wonderful," a sentiment echoed by her fellow cast members. This palpable joy and camaraderie undoubtedly translated onto the screen, captivating both long-time devotees and a new generation of fans.

While the specifics of a 'Hocus Pocus 3' script remain shrouded in mystery – and, indeed, if one even exists beyond early conceptual stages – Midler's public statement injects a potent dose of hope and excitement into the hearts of millions.

The original 'Hocus Pocus', initially a modest box office performer, found its true magic and cult status through repeat viewings, particularly during the Halloween season. Its sequel proved that the enchantment hasn't faded, only grown stronger.

As fans eagerly await any official announcements, the prospect of seeing Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson cackle and scheme their way through another adventure is a tantalizing thought.

Bette Midler's readiness signals that the magic of 'Hocus Pocus' is far from over, and perhaps, just perhaps, our favorite witches are preparing to fly again.
