Prepare for more magic and mayhem as the Sanderson sisters return in a spooktacular sequel to cult classic Hocus Pocus on Disney Plus this autumn.
The trailer for Hocus Pocus 2 has just dropped - and it’s already conjured up a cauldron of excitement among fans.
This follow-up to the 1993 original starring three sister witches - played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parke r and Kathy Najimy - picks up the story 29 years later.
At the end of the first film, the Sandersons' ‘grimoire’ (book of spells) was seen still alive, with the eye on the front coming open - suggesting their curse could continue.
Hocus Pocus 2 sees three students Becca, Izzy and Cassie learn of an intriguing ritual where witches get their powers on their 16th birthday. So they duly light the Black Flame Candle which can raise the spirits of the dead for as long as it remains lit.
In doing so they wake up the Sanderson sisters and accidentally unleash them on the unsuspecting city of Salem.
The trailer gives us a sneak peek into the film's set up, but other than that gives little else away - so to learn more you'll have to wait until the film drops in September.

Disney first teased a potential follow-up to the sleeper-hit movie in 2020.
Hocus Pocus was a bit of a critical and commercial failure back in the 90s, but has gained huge popularity over the years.
This is largely thanks to it finding a new home on the Disney Channel, which propelled it to become a regular TV fixture in the run-up to Halloween each October.
The movie has since built up a reputation into something of a cult classic, with millions of loyal fans tuning in to watch it every year.
Bette Midler, who stars as Winnie, is eager for fans to see Hocus Pocus 2, describing it as ‘pretty great’.
And fans look likely to agree, with many quick to take to Twitter after seeing the new trailer.
One said “I’m so excited. I buy anything and everything Hocus Pocus! I can't wait for the new merch!’ while another said ‘I’m crying, I can’t wait, OMG’.
Some bemoaned the fact it was exclusively on Disney Plus and urged the studio to bring it out on Blu-Ray or DVD.
Hocus Pocus 2 is available to stream on Disney+ on September 30.
