There's only one way to watch director Anne Fletcher's Hocus Pocus 2. And what is that, dude? Daylight saving time! JK, you can watch it exclusively on the Disney+ subscription streaming service, where it shattered streaming records following its initial Sept. 30, 2022 release date.

When you're done watching the film, make sure to stay tuned for the Hocus Pocus 2 post-credits scene, which hints at a Sanderson Sisters return ahead of Hocus Pocus 3.

Hitting "play" on Disney+ is about as easy as lighting the Black Flame Candle, but old-school Hocus Pocus fans can conjure that childhood nostalgia feeling of curling up on the couch to watch the movie just as our beloved master Garry Marshall (in Hell) intended: with a host of Halloween commercials peppering its TV broadcast.

ABC has a special 30th-anniversary edition planned in the run-up to Halloween, while Freeform will air Hocus Pocus 18 times between Oct. 1 and Halloween, with the family network showing the movie twice on Oct. 31 as a cap to its annual 31 Nights of Halloween programming.
