It's officially fall — a season that I also like to call Hocus Pocus season.
Fans of the Sanderson sisters have been patiently waiting for a sequel to the 1993 cult classic — and stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy have all said they'd be on board to get the sisters back together again.
So this morning — another glorious morning — when Deadline shared some news about a Hocus Pocus TV movie in the works at Disney Channel, I was thrilled, elated, overjoyed...until I looked a little bit closer:
The new Hocus Pocus iteration will have a new cast and a new director. Ortega, who has directed Disney Channel’s two biggest TV movie franchises, High School Musical and Descendants, is not involved.
A new cast?! And a new director?! WHYYYYYYYY?
I wasn't the only one. The PEOPLE OF TWITTER started voicing their demands for a sequel instead of a remake:
They wondered: Why mess with such a great thing?!
Some decided to quit life!
Others decided to go back to bed indefinitely until they could wake up in a world without this remake!
