Watch Hocus Pocus 2 for Free?
I would not advise anyone to use illegal streams. Instead, you can sign up for Disney+ for a small initial fee and then cancel before you are charged for the month following.
This will give you access to Hocus Pocus 2 and all the other great content that Disney+ has to offer.
Occasionally, Disney+ opens up its streaming service for free. This has happened a few times since the service launched, like when they allowed non-subscribers to watch FREE GUY (21 Sept 2021) so it's worth keeping an eye out for.
If a free day/weekend is announced, be sure to sign up and take advantage of it!
What is Hocus Pocus 2 About?
This sequel is set twenty-nine years after the events of Hocus Pocus (1993). When three young women accidentally resurrect the Sanderson Sisters in modern-day Salem, they must quickly think of a way to stop the child-hungry witches from destroying the world.
Doug Jones will return to his role as Billy Butcherson in this film, the lover of Winifred. Sarah caught him cheating on May 1, 1693 and she poisoned him as a result. He is raised from the dead as a zombie!
The film is directed by Anne Fletcher, her previous directing credits include Dumplin' and 27 Dresses.
Critical Reception
The original Hocus Pocus was not a big hit when it was released in 1993, but it has since become a cult classic. It currently enjoys a score of 6.9/10 on IMDB, and a 71% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's safe to say that fans are eagerly anticipating the sequel, and we're sure it will be just as fun and magical as the first film.
Disney+ tends to produce high-quality content, so we do not doubt that Hocus Pocus 2 will be a hit!
More Disney+ Movies?
Disney Plus has an impressive lineup of original content, along with brilliant Disney movies, you'll also get access to the Pixar catalogue (Toy Story, The Incredibles, Cars and UP) along with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Black Panther, Captain America, Thor etc…) and not forgetting all the Star Wars movies and series.
Subscribers outside the U.S. also benefit from content which is normally only seen on HULU. Recently the new Predator movie Prey dropped on Disney+ for non-US viewers. Arguably making the streaming service a better deal for those not in the States.
They have something for everyone in the family! If you're not already a Disney+ subscriber, now is the perfect time to sign up.
You can cancel anytime so there's no risk, and you'll be able to watch Hocus Pocus 2!
