Abracadabra was launched in 1993 and accompanies teenager Max Dennison, who has just moved to Salem. While exploring an abandoned house with his sister Dani and his new friend Allison, Max accidentally frees a group of evil witches who lived there. Now, with the help of a magic cat, children must steal the witches’ spell book to prevent them from becoming immortal.
In the sequel, the plot will be centered on three friends who will accidentally release the three witches. The director will be Anne Fletcher, responsible for the film The Proposal, while Adam Shankman, who directed the first feature, will serve as executive producer.
Abracadabra 2 should debut at Disney +.
