It’s Official! The Sanderson Sisters Are Flying Back for Hocus Pocus 3

After years of fan speculation, social media teases and one very impatient Bette Midler, Hocus Pocus 3 is officially in the works at Disney Live Action Studios. Better yet, the entire original trio is coming with it—Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy and Midler herself will all reprise their roles as Sarah, Mary and Winifred. Ready to run amok with the sisters ? We definitely are! Read on to find out when the magic will happen. A long road back to Salem The journey to a third movie has been almost as chaotic as a Sanderson sisters reunion. Disney first announced Hocus Pocus 3 back in 2023, but the project hit a major snag when studio chief Sean Bailey exited Disney in 2024. Midler, never one to mince words, voiced her frustration on Busy Philipps’s talk show Busy This Week in July 2024: “Time is not just marching—time is barrel-a**ing to the finish line. Get us while we’re still breathing!” By October 2025, things were bubbling again. Midler told A...

Today’s Sheinelle Jones on What She Learned from Moms Who Raised Extraordinary Kids 

From her office at 30 Rock, just steps from the set of Today , which she co-hosts, Sheinelle Jones is on cloud nine. She recently got the news that her new book, Through Mom’s Eyes: Simple Wisdom from Mothers Who Raised Extraordinary Humans , had reached No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list. “I just screamed,” the mom of three says. “I’ve had voice problems in the past, so I don’t scream. I don’t even remember the last time I allowed myself to—but this one had just come out. I was so elated.” It was a joyous moment after a year marked by the painful loss of her husband, Uche, and, months later, her beloved grandmother. She began writing the book a couple of years before Uche became ill and completed it after he passed—a promise she made from his hospital room. Jones got the idea for the book after watching NBA all-star Steph Curry linger after a Today segment, shaking hands and taking time with everyone he met. His kin...
