Bette Midler Shares Picture Of Hocus Pocus Reunion

Bette Midler has shared a snap of the Hocus Pocus trio back together again.

The Hollywood legend, who played Winifred in the 1993 film has teamed back up with Kathy Najimy (Mary) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah) for a spooky charity special.

'In Search of the Sanderson Sisters' will air on Halloween eve, with money raised going to the New York Restoration Project.

The charity was founded by Midler and supports communities in making sure the city's residents have access nature.

Midler posted a sneak peek of the three witches to her Instagram account, with the caption: "Your 3 fav witches - @sarahjessicaparker @kathynajimy & ME - are returning for 1 night only on 10/30 at 8p ET!

"In Search of the Sanderson Sisters" is the best thing to happen to #Halloween since Hocus Pocus + Reeses Pieces. Get your tix now (link in bio) and support @NYRP #nyrphulaween."

Since she shared the snap, it's caused quite a stir among fans, and it has led plenty to ask the question: When will we get a Hocus Pocus 2?

One follower asked: "Is this proof of concept for sequel? I pray."

Another put: "Hopefully there are more nights you are together.... like on the set of Hocus Pocus 2!"

"Make the second part of the movie, please," cried a third.

While yet another demanded: "Give us the sequel already legend!"

And who knows, over the past few months there has been some talk of the Sanderson sisters getting back together for another movie.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Milder said she would 'absolutely' pick up her witch's broom stick if she's asked.

She said: "I can't wait to fly!" - which sounds a hell of a lot like she's in the sequel.

When asked whether she's been brought onboard, Bette seemed a bit more coy: "Oh, yeah. We're just talking logistics."

Her on-screen sister, Sarah Jessica Parker, indicated she would be down to reprise her role as well.

Back in November last year, Parker shared a still from the film, which showed her character alongside on-screen sisters Winnie and Mary, over on Instagram, writing: "Halloween 2019. One for the books."

For the very few out there who don't know, the original film followed a Californian teenager who moves to Salem, Massachusetts, and accidentally revives three witches who were burned at the stake in the same down in the 1600s.

The three sisters, Winnie, Mary, and Sarah try to suck the youth out of children while they're out Trick or Treating in order to become immortal.

Yeah - it's wild.
