The sequel began production last month at La Salle Academy, a Catholic high school, in Providence, Rhode Island.

“The Proposal” filmmaker Anne Fletcher will be taking over directing duties from Adam Shankman, who previously was set to direct and remains as an executive producer.

The “Tomorrow War” star Sam Richardson is currently in final negotiations to board the project.

“Hocus Pocus 2”, is centered around three young women accidentally bringing the Sanderson Sisters back. They must stop the child-hungry witches from creating a new kind of havoc on the world.

The sequel will premiere on Disney Plus in fall 2022.
