Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, is a live-action sequel to the Halloween classic. Now it is up to three high-school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow's Eve." The film is directed by Anne Fletcher and will debut on Disney+ on Sept. 30.

Thora Birch joined The Walking Dead series as a Whisperer in the series tenth season. She was appointed Gamma by the Whisperer's leader, Alpha.

Next, Birtch will star in the Tim Burton/Netflix Wednesday, a series that focuses on the Addams family’s daughter as she attends Nevermore Academy. Birch plays Tamara Novak, the only normie on staff who is Wednesday’s dorm mother. Sadly, Birch’s schedule didn’t allow her to take the offer from Disney to reprise her role as an adult version of Dani in the sequel film. She was appointed Gamma by the Whisperer’s leader, Alpha (Samantha Morton) but previously went by the name Mary. Birch’s character didn’t last long on the series, but she did a fantastic job during her short stint on the show.

Shankman will stay on as executive producer, though. The film will take place in Salem and follow the girls as they try to stop the witches.

The news came after fans spotted a black cat in the trailer for Hocus Pocus 2, which dropped earlier this week. There has been no explanation offered as to why Jason Marsden would not return for Hocus Pocus 2, but his character was sent to the afterlife at the end of the first film.

In addition to Midler, Parker, and Najimy, Doug Jones is the only other cast member from the first film confirmed to return for Hocus Pocus 2, after he originated the part of Billy Butcherson, Winifred's zombified ex-lover, nearly three decades ago. "Jay and Ice will not be in Hocus Pocus 2," Jelinek adds in a separate phone call, going on to reference Disney's anniversary special that premiered in 2018. Bagby also notes that he's gotten closer to Jelinek since Hocus Pocus 2 was announced. When asked to speculate where Ice might be now in the world of the films, Bagby sees the character in line with the kinds of parts he plays now: "Authoritative, mean, bully, bad guys." "The 25-year bash, that really felt like Hocus Pocus 2, because we had Kenny Ortega directing, and it was the first time the original producers and all the kids were there.... "Unfortunately, I am not a part of it," Bagby says, though he recalls his manager submitting him for a small role as the owner of the Salem Magic Shoppe, which can be seen operating out of the former Sanderson house in the first teaser trailer.

Entertainment Weekly confirmed that James Marsden won't lend his voice to 'Hocus Pocus 2,' set to release on Disney+ Sept. 30.

Marsden, a veteran voice actor best known for his role as Max in “A Goofy Movie” and other Disney properties, isn’t the only “Hocus Pocus” cast member who won’t be featured in the sequel. As of now, it’s unclear whether the character will return voiced by a different actor, or if a different black cat is featured in the film. Marsden’s reps did not respond to a request for comment.
