They’ll be returning as family favorites from Practical Magic 2, the much anticipated sequel. The sequel to the 1998 cult classic will hit theaters on September 18, 2026, as announced by Warner Bros. Pictures. Fans of the original 1998 film will soon be reunited with Gillian Owens and Sally Owens. Our favorite characters took the market by storm over two decades ago!
The original “Practical Magic” was adapted from Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel. In this whimsical tale, Kidman and Bullock play witch sisters struggling with the ways of love, loss and raising a family in a small, historic town. In the new sequel, Kidman says she’s excited to be back at the dark magic as Gillian, along with Bullock’s return as Sally. The story takes a grim turn when Gillian’s boyfriend suddenly dies. Heartbroken and desperate, the sisters go down a crash course in hard magic, willing to do whatever it takes to restore him to life.
Not to mention that Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing are reunited! They’ll be returning as Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny, respectively, to join the returning main cast. The sequel transports a thrilling new ensemble cast on-screen! Prepare to be blown away by the performances from Joey King, Maisie Williams, Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod. Each subsequent game has been an opportunity to inject new talent into the magical sparkplug of creativity that catalyzes that amazing narrative.
The two entertainers teased “Practical Magic 2” production earlier this week when they gave fans a sneak peek on social media. In her Instagram post, Kidman showed her full excitement by writing “The witches are back!” As anticipation for the film grew, fans welcomed her announcement with open arms.
The original film gained a loyal following thanks to its blend of fantasy and drama, showcasing the struggles of two sisters raised by their eccentric aunts after the tragic death of their parents. The story’s blend of mysticism and relatability connected with fans and made it an instant classic.
We can’t wait to see what happens with “Practical Magic 2”! Fans can expect a spellbinding second chapter in the Owens sisters’ saga, full of magic, love, loss, and fierce sisterhood. The imaginative plot synopsis guarantees a raw, unflinching investigation into grief and strength. As the sisters face new challenges in their blossoming magical lives, their story gets even more interesting.
