Though the movie was announced in 2023, there is no update on the casting as well as the story.

But in a previous update, Bette Midler, who plays Winifred Sanderson, was on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live. “Well, you know, they sent a script. And a lot of it was brilliant.”

She added, “So, I got very excited. And 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.”

It's pertinent to mention Hocus Pocus was released in 1993, followed up with the sequel in 2022.
