What will the story of Hocus Pocus 2 be about?
The storyline of Hocus Pocus 2 will focus on three sisters who by accident bring back the three witches, the Sanderson sisters, to life. So they embark on a mission to stop the witches from bringing evil to the town’s children. The storyline is going to be interesting as we are going to see the witches again. As they like to frighten children they will surely be more dangerous in Hocus Pocus 2.
This movie is a dream come true for many children and adults. Many are waiting for it to be released soon. The story of season 2 sounds similar to the book sequel of Hocus Pocus. It was released in 2018. The book’s plot focused on Max and Allison’s daughter Poppy and her friends. Poppy wants to impress a girl named Isabella so she goes inside the Sanderson house at the time of the blood moon. Then she accidentally brings the witches back to life.
It is still unclear now if the same thing will happen in the Hocus Pocus film sequel. But it is just an assumption. The director may take some inspiration from the book sequel but will create a story fit for a movie. But one thing is clear. The witches are going to return and will try to kidnap innocent children.

So we can guess that the film will release around 2022 on Halloween. But we cannot be sure of the fact. At the moment we have to wait to get the official announcement of the Hocus Pocus 2 release date from Disney.
