Whoopi Goldberg tells Kathy Najimy that Hocus Pocus 2 led to Sister Act 3 being greenlit: ‘We’re getting a script at the end of the month’

Whoopi Goldberg reunited with her longtime friend and Sister Act costar, Kathy Najimy, during Friday’s episode of The View.

Goldberg credited the success of Najimy’s Hocus Pocus 2 in reviving interest to possibly create a Sister Act 3.

‘I haven’t heard anything formal about 3 yet, I’ve heard rumblings of it. I think it’d be a blast of fun. I look forward to the nuns that we were with that are still with us, seeing them again, they were fantastic, so much fun,’ said Najimy.

Later she asked Goldberg: ‘Where is that at? Is that happening?’

The Oscar-winning actress confirmed the third film ‘is happening’ and producer Tyler Perry is on board and added ‘we’re getting a script at the end of the month.’

‘It took a little while, but it’s happening. You all helped that happen, I think, because they brought Hocus Pocus back,’ said Goldberg.

Whoopi added, ‘They finally said, “we might as well put those nuns back out there and see if they have any juice.”’ 

In September, when Perry appeared on The View he revealed that he ‘loved the idea’ of helping to make Sister Act 3 but commented that the Hollywood system usually moves slower than expected.

Commenting on the screenplay Perry said, ‘We’ve got a good script, we’re off to a great start.’

Jenifer Lewis, who starred in the Sister Act films with Goldberg and Najimy also recently expressed interest in returning to the screen for a third film when she was a guest on The View.

Keke Palmer expressed her excitement for the film to happen as she took to Twitter sharing, ‘God bless y’all for this manifestation over my life. @WaltDisneyCo, this is what they asked for I’m just here to relay.

Palmer was sharing a joke poster (she’s not in the movie, just excited about it).

She then posted an explanation to be clear she is just joking and looking forward to the release of the movie.
