According to Entertainment Weekly, Ginger Minj has joined the cast of the upcoming Disney+ movie. Fans will get the chance to see Minj playing a drag queen impersonating the wicked Winifred Sanderson, originally played by the legendary Bette Midler.

The sequel to the fan-favorite holiday film was announced to be in development in March 2021.
“Sistaaaahs! It’s been 300 years… But we’re BACK! 🧹 #HocusPocus2 arrives Fall 2022 on @DisneyPlus,” Midler posted to Instagram.
