SARAH Jessica Parker has confirmed that the original stars of Hocus Pocus will all return for the sequel.
Last month, fans were delighted to hear that a sequel for the beloved 1993 movie was "in the works".
Sarah, 54, played seductive witch Sarah in the film, with Bette Midler leader Winifred, and Kathy Najimy dopey Mary.
The Sex And The City star took to her Instagram page earlier this week to share a grab from the film, alluding to the sequel with the caption: "Halloween 2019. One for the books."
One fan commented: "Any chance of a sequel?!" to which Sarah revealed: "We have all said yes. Now we wait."
Another excited follower asked: "Round 2?", with the actress explaining: "We await instructions!"

7Hocus Pocus follows the three witch sisters, who are inadvertently resurrected by a teenage boy on Halloween.
While the movie didn't set the box office alight, it became a cult classic, and remains a popular Halloween movie over 20 years later.
Last month, Collider reported that Workaholics writer and co-producer Jen D'Angelo had been approached to write the script.
The initial reports said the original stars are currently not attached to the new project, but Disney is hoping they will get involved – and it looks like they got their wish.
During the film's 25th anniversary last year, the film's stars paid tribute to its cult status.
Sarah told Entertainment Weekly at the time: "I don’t think any of us who were making it at the time thought Hocus Pocus would have such a long life.
"People tell me all the time they grew up watching it, and that they still watch it. I think it’s wonderful."
Acknowledging its initial box office failure and lukewarm response from the critics at the time, director Kenny Ortega added: "For a moment in time, I was heartbroken and disappointed.
"People have just found it and found the treasure that is there with Kathy and Bette and Sarah; their wonderful, incredible chemistry and good humour.
"It’s just a fun movie that just takes you away and there’s just magic there."
