Hocus Pocus 2 brought back the Sanderson sisters – and also introduced a new, young cast, with Whitney Peak's Becca, Lilia Buckingham's Cassie, and Belissa Escobedo's Izzy joining the lineup. Peak, Buckingham, and Escobedo have talked through the new film's surprise ending and whether those certain someones could ever return: major spoiler warning for everything to follow! 

The Hocus Pocus 2 ending bid a heartfelt goodbye to the Sanderson sisters (that's Bette Middler's Winifred, Sarah Jessica Parker's Sarah, and Kathy Najimy's Mary). When Winnie casts the Power Spell, a terrible price must be paid: w🥃hat she holds most de🐟ar, her two sisters, are taken away. The three young witches, Becca, Cassie, and Izzy, are unable to bring Sarah and Mary back, but they can reunite Winnie with her lost sisters. When all is said and done, the trio are established as the new witches in town – but good ones, this time. 

of Winnie's big moment. "Seeing that, through the screen, it's translated well. But, seeing her do that monologue live was life changing."

"She was improvising. It was 🀅different each time," Peak revealed. "She'd go on a well-thought-out monologue, saying goodbye𓆏 to her sisters and having a weird come-to-light moment of deciding who she wants to be."

As for the three new witches, it seems the future is wide open. "It's an open-ended movie. So much could happen next," said Peak. "Both extremes, too. If there is a next movie, we could be our coven, much older, but the San𝔉derson sisters could come back, and we'd have to kick their asses again."

As for whether the Sanderson sisters could actually return, never say never. "I think you can never fully get rid of the Sanderson sister♌s," Escobedo said, with Peak adding: "They can always 𒊎come back. It would be hard to create a third movie without the Sanderson sisters, because it's their movie. They are Hocus Pocus. It's hard to imagine what a movie would be like without them."
