Fall is finally here, and Freeform is celebrating in the best way! The TV network officially announced their full schedule for 31 Nights of Halloween last month to get ready for the 2021 Halloween season.
“Calling all ghouls, skeletons, witches, bat bbs: ‘Tis time, The ~official~ @31NightsofHalloween schedule is here,” the network shared via Instagram on September 1. “Start marking your calendars now.”
Every year, Freeform — the network responsible for Good Trouble and Grown-ish, among other fan-favorite shows — brings together Halloween lovers for a month full of happy haunts. Throughout the month of October, they play multiple Halloween-themed movies and TV specials to get viewers ready for spooky season. This year is no different! Aside from the classic films, like Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas, fans can expect to see newer favorites, like Monsters University and The Corpse Bride. Not to mention, Selena Gomez fans will get a chance to hear her as Maeve in Hotel Transylvania.
With 10 different airings of Hocus Pocus, fans of the Sanderson Sisters will be ready for the highly anticipated sequel, once it officially premieres. In May 2021, Disney confirmed that the original witches — Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy — would be back as Winifred, Sarah and Mary, respectively.
“Now more than ever, people need to laugh. We should be laughing every day, and there is so much fun to be had with these three unbelievable women playing delicious characters from such a beloved film,” Anne Fletcher, the sequel’s director, said in a statement at the time. “I am so grateful to be able to play a part in bringing these witches back to life, and to be working with my friends at Disney again makes it all the more special. This is a movie for everyone, from the fans who grew up with the first film to the next generation of viewers, and I can’t wait to get started.”
While no release date for Hocus Pocus 2 has been announced just yet, one thing’s for sure: We’ll be watching the original on a loop all season long! Keep scrolling to see Freeform’s full 31 Nights of Halloween schedule.
