Disney has officially confirmed that Kathy Najimy will reunite with Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker for the third installment of the Hocus Pocus franchise.
On The Rachel Hollis Podcast, host Rachel Hollis celebrated the news, noting, "Disney confirmed Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are returning for a third installment. This is obviously amazing for us." While Hollis remains a superfan of the original, she admitted, "I did not love Hocus Pocus 2." She suggests the pressure to recapture the magic of the first film may have weighed down the sequel, a sentiment shared by many skeptical franchise fans.
Outside of the film world, Kathy Najimy is currently pulling double duty on screen, appearing in a new ad campaign for ARAG Legal Insurance as a fortune-teller. Whether she can conjure up a better reception for Hocus Pocus 3 than the previous entry remains the big question for the studio.
