In 2022, twenty-nine years after the Sanderson sisters were resurrected by the Black Flame Candle, Salem teenagers, Becca and Izzy, prepare to celebrate both Halloween and Becca's sixteenth birthday but turn down a party invitation from their estranged friend, Cassie Traske. The Sanderson sisters then get their revenge on Reverend Traske by casting a spell that burns down his house. The Mother Witch also teaches the sisters to retain their youthfulness by killing children. There, they cross paths with the Mother Witch, who gifts Winifred her magic book for her sixteenth birthday, but who also explicitly warns the sisters against ever casting a specific spell, known as the Magicae Maxima, which makes the user 'all powerful'. Rather than allow her sisters, Mary and Sarah, be taken from her, Winifred escapes with them to a nearby forbidden forest. In 1653 Salem, Reverend Traske banishes a young Winifred Sanderson after she 'defied church authority' by refusing to marry John Pritchett. A sequel is in development with Anne Fletcher and Jen D'Angelo returning as director and screenwriter, respectively.
