The Sanderson Sisters are back with hell to pay in "Hocus Pocus 2," coming to Disney+ in 2022. Announced on Thursday, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are all set to reprise their witchy roles from the 1993 hit comedy, CNN reported.

"In the new film, three young women accidentally bring the Sanderson Sisters back to modern-day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on the world," reports CNN.

Anne Fletcher will reportedly direct, taking over for Adam Shankman who had been set to direct the sequel. Her previous work include "Step Up," "27 Dresses," "The Proposal" and "The Guilt Trip."

"As heartbroken as I am that I won't be able to direct my friends Bette, Sarah Jessica and Kathy in what is sure to be nothing short of a major event for Disney+ due to scheduling conflicts, I couldn't be more pleased to be handing over the reins to Anne, who has brought so much laughter and joy into people's lives with her previous work," Shankman said, reports CNN.
