The witches are back, this time with a renewed look. Following the release of the trailer for "Practical Magic 2," anticipation is growing for the long-awaited return of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.
The sequel reunites the two stars nearly three decades after the original Practical Magic, which became a cult favourite following its release in 1998.
Release Date
The film is scheduled to hit cinemas on 11 September 2026, bringing back the magical world of the Owens family to a new generation of audiences.
Cast and New Faces
The sequel reunites Bullock and Kidman 28 years after the first film. Stockard Channing will also return, reprising her role from the original movie.
New cast members include Maisie Williams, Joey King, and Lee Pace. For Joey King, the film marks her second collaboration with Nicole Kidman following "A Family Affair."
What Will Practical Magic 2 Be About?
Bullock and Kidman will reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens. The original film, based on the 1995 novel by Alice Hoffman, followed the two sisters as they struggled to break a family curse that doomed any man who fell in love with them.
While the exact plot of the sequel has not been fully revealed, it is reportedly inspired by "The Book of Magic," part of Hoffman&rsquo;s Practical Magic book series. The story is expected to explore a multi-generational family of witches attempting to break the centuries-old curse while confronting dark secrets and making difficult sacrifices.
What Will Change in the Story
In the sequel, Sally now has adult daughters who are beginning lives of their own, while Gillian has settled into a quieter life, though trouble soon finds the family again.
A mysterious character played by Lee Pace reportedly draws the sisters away from their peaceful New England town, sending them on a dramatic and magical journey.
