Starring: Sandra Bullock • Nicole Kidman • Joey King • Maisie Williams
Nearly three decades after Practical Magic first enchanted audiences, the Owens family returns with a long-awaited sequel that promises renewed mystery, heartfelt emotion, and a powerful continuation of the witches’ timeless legacy. Practical Magic 2 brings back the beloved sisters Sally and Gillian Owens as they step into a new chapter—one filled with grown daughters, lingering memories, and a destiny that refuses to be forgotten.
A Return to Enchantment
Directed by Susanne Bier and written by Akiva Goldsman with Georgia Pritchett, the new film draws inspiration from Alice Hoffman’s celebrated novel The Book of Magic. Production concluded in late 2025, accompanied by a behind-the-scenes glimpse shared by Nicole Kidman with the caption: “The witches are back — wiser, stronger, and a little more dangerous.”
Set for release in Fall 2026, the sequel aims to blend emotional depth with atmospheric fantasy, revisiting the themes of family, grief, and the unwavering bond that has always defined the Owens women. While time has passed since their previous battles, the world of the Owens family remains rich with secrets and supernatural echoes.
A New Generation Rises
Sally and Gillian have spent years attempting to build grounded, peaceful lives for their daughters. But when a legendary spellbook—thought to be destroyed centuries ago—mysteriously resurfaces, the Owens line finds itself drawn back into a storm of magic, danger, and prophecy.
The sequel welcomes Joey King and Maisie Williams, rumored to portray the next generation of Owens witches whose abilities may surpass even those of their mothers. Their journeys unfold alongside performances from Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod, with the iconic Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing returning as Aunt Jet and Aunt Frances.
Early insights hint at a story centered on the tension between what we inherit and what we choose, exploring the complicated relationship between independence and family destiny. As the young witches begin awakening their powers, they uncover truths that blur the boundaries of love, fear, and fate.
Magic With Consequences
Although plot specifics remain closely guarded, insiders describe Practical Magic 2 as atmospheric, emotionally resonant, and steeped in themes of love’s deepest risks. One early production note mentions a striking sequence involving falling birds and distant flames—a symbolic warning that old curses may lead to new dangers.
Director Susanne Bier has emphasized that the sequel is both a continuation and a reinvention:
“This story is about legacy—how we carry it, how we resist it, and how we ultimately embrace it.”
The Cast Reflects on the Journey
Sandra Bullock has called the reunion “a return to a world that never quite left us,” while Nicole Kidman highlights the film’s exploration of womanhood, resilience, and intergenerational strength. For longtime fans, their reunion is a cinematic moment that feels both nostalgic and electrifying.
