A Fifth Halloweentown Film Is In Development At Disney

A return to Halloweentown could be on the way, two decades after the franchise’s last film.

Disney is developing a fifth instalment for Disney Channel and Disney+, with writers Lily Houghton and Ryan Koehn working on the script.

The project is still in its early stages, and a storyline, cast and release date have yet to be announced.

The original Halloweentown arrived in 1998, introducing viewers to Marnie Piper, a teenager who discovers her family’s magical heritage. Kimberly J. Brown played Marnie in the first three films, alongside Debbie Reynolds as her grandmother, Aggie Cromwell.

Sara Paxton took over the role of Marnie in Return to Halloweentown, which was released in 2006. It remains unclear whether Brown, Paxton or other familiar cast members will appear in the potential fifth film.

There is still plenty to learn before another visit becomes a reality. For fans who make the original films part of their annual Halloween viewing, the news offers a fresh reason to revisit the magical town.
