Sarah Jessica Parker confirms talks are ongoing for 'Hocus Pocus 3'
Fans of the Hocus Pocus franchise may have reason to stay hopeful. Sarah Jessica Parker has offered a fresh update on the long-rumored third installment, confirming that discussions are underway. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live!, the 60-year-old actress said, 'We've been having some conversations,' though she added there have been 'no more developments other than we would like to do it.' Parker's comments mark the first significant update in over a year regarding Hocus Pocus 3, which would serve as a follow-up to the 2022 sequel that reunited Parker with co-stars Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy as the wickedly comedic Sanderson sisters. The original 1993 film has since become a Halloween cult classic, making each sequel a nostalgic celebration for fans. Midler has also previously urged Disney to move quickly with the third movie. Appearing last year on Busy Philipps' QVC+ show Busy This Week, she quipped, 'If they're gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. Get us while we're still breathing!' While no script has been publicly confirmed, the stars' consistent enthusiasm suggests that creative forces may be aligning behind the scenes. The 2022 sequel was a streaming hit, debuting on Disney+ to record-breaking numbers, which likely adds momentum for a third chapter. Despite the growing interest, Disney has yet to officially greenlight the project. Still, Parker's latest remarks signal that the magic isn't over yet. With all three original stars still expressing a willingness to return, the potential for another witchy adventure remains very much alive.

Sarah Jessica Parker issues Hocus Pocus 3 update
Sarah Jessica Parker has been "having some conversations" about Hocus Pocus 3. The movie still appears to be in the works, despite a lack of updates in the past year, but the 60-year-old star admitted she and the cast would "like to do it". Speaking on Watch What Happens Live!, she said: "No more developments other than we would like to do it. "We've been having some conversations." In the 1993 original, Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy appeared as the Sanderson sisters, a trio of witches who were resurrected on a Halloween night. A year ago, Midler - who reprised her role as witch Winifred 'Winnie' Sanderson in the successful fantasy comedy sequel in 2022 - urged Disney to hurry up with Hocus Pocus 3 while the cast are "still breathing". Speaking on Busy Philipps' QVC+ talk show Busy This Week, she said last July: "I haven't seen the script, but, I've heard rumblings. "I think if they're gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. "Get us while we're still breathing, I mean, God!" Midler also admitted on the show that she initially thought the 1993 original movie was a "dud", until it later became a "cult classic". In June 2024, the star revealed talks had taken place regarding a third film in the franchise. She told SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show: "Now, they're kind of talking about a third, very gingerly and very gently. "They are. They're talking about a third. The second one was a huge success." Midler also insisted her Hocus Pocus alter-ego is "probably the least like me of any character" that she has played during an acting career that has spanned more than half a century. The Stepford Wives star said: "She is the closest thing I will ever get to Shakespeare. She's from the era, from the time of Shakespeare. "She really does put it on, and yet she has all the great things you love in a great villain. She's vicious, she's hilarious, she's ridiculous-looking, and she doesn't know any of that. It goes completely over her head."
