Halloweentown 5 Is Happening After 20 Years—and It’s Not Vastly Overrated
Kimberly J. Brown, Daniel Kountz Bring Halloweentown Reunion to Hallmark
Attention all witches, wizards, ghouls and goblins—it’s time to return to Halloweentown once again.
Twenty years after the release of the fourth Halloweentown film, Return to Halloweentown, Disney is brewing up a fifth installment, according to multiple outlets.
Halloweentown 5—which will air on Disney Channel and stream Disney+ if greenlit—is being written by Lily Houghton (Forbidden Fruits) and Ryan Koehn (Gossip Girl), based on the characters created by Paul Bernbaum, who wrote the screenplay of the first Halloweentown.
E! News has reached out to Disney but has yet to hear back.
While further details have yet to be revealed, several original cast members have shared they’re ready to bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble again and reprise their roles in the new project, per Variety.
Halloweentown cast its first spell in October 1998, with the original film starring Kimberly J. Brown as Marnie Piper, who learns on her 13th birthday that she comes from a line of powerful witches, the Cromwells, and sets out on a journey to train her powers to ultimately save Halloweentown—an alternate dimension where supernatural creatures can live freely from the human world.
