Hocus Pocus 2 is exclusive to Disney+. That means that you’ll need to sign up for Disney’s premium streaming service in order to watch Hocus Pocus 2 online in the U.S. Unfortunately, the Disney+ free trial was done away with awhile ago, so as of now, there’s no way to watch Hocus Pocus 2 for free. The good news is that Disney+ is quite affordable at just $8 per month or $80 per year, and with a huge library of Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars shows and films (along with other exclusive content), you’ve got a lot of entertainment at your fingertips here.

Another, and perhaps better, option is to sign up for the Disney Bundle. This gets you Disney+ along with basic Hulu and ESPN+ for just $14 per month, saving you a nice chunk of change on the combined prices of three streaming services. Along with letting you watch Hocus Pocus 2 online, the Disney Bundle also gets you access to the catalog of Hulu shows and movies as well as all the live an on-demand sports entertainment that ESPN+ has to offer, such as UFC fight live streams.

How to watch Hocus Pocus 2 from abroad

Traveling abroad and still want to watch Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+? If you’re outside of the U.S., region-based broadcasting restrictions can make streaming difficult. But there’s a solution: a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN encrypts and routes your connection through remote servers, making it easy to bypass streaming restrictions so you can enjoy your content libraries from anywhere. Our top pick among the best VPN services is NordVPN, which is a secure, reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use virtual private that delivers the fast speeds you need for streaming. There’s even a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can sign up for NordVPN and use it for one month risk-free.

A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)
