Fans of the beloved 1998 film *Practical Magic* can look forward to a long-awaited sequel, *Practical Magic 2*, set to hit theatres on 18th September 2025. The movie sees the return of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, who reprise their roles as the enchanting sisters, Sally and Gillian Owens. This nostalgic venture promises to rekindle the magic that captivated audiences nearly three decades ago.


The excitement for the sequel escalated with the release of its trailer by Warner Bros., which showcases the familiar charm and whimsy that characterised the original film. In the new installment, the Owens sisters are again thrust into a world of the supernatural when a mysterious newcomer, portrayed by Lee Pace, arrives in their quaint New England town with a compelling quest. However, the details remain tantalisingly vague, with Warner Bros. simply teasing that “the magic returns.”
Nicole Kidman provided insights into the sequel during a 2024 interview with *PEOPLE*, revealing that she and Bullock had discovered a way to revisit the beloved narrative. Kidman remarked on the “enduring affection” for their characters, contributing to their desire for a new chapter in the Owens family saga. The creative team behind the sequel also expressed their commitment to delivering a heartwarming continuation for both old fans and new audiences.
The buzz heightened further during CinemaCon in Las Vegas on 14th April, where Bullock and Kidman enthusiastically celebrated their characters’ return, declaring, “The witches are back!” Their chemistry, which so resonated in the original, appears to remain vibrant in the sequel, promising delightful moments for viewers.
Joining the impressive cast are emerging stars such as Joey King, who is set to play Sally’s daughter. Additionally, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod join the ensemble, adding fresh energy to the narrative. Furthermore, fans will be pleased to see the return of Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as the quirky aunts who helped raise the Owens sisters. Channing reprises her role as the practical Frances “Franny” Owens, while Wiest returns as the whimsical Bridget “Jet” Owens.
Behind the scenes, *Practical Magic 2* benefits from the collaboration of original screenwriter Akiva Goldsman and *Succession’s* Georgia Pitchett, ensuring that the sequel retains the essence of its predecessor. Notably, both Bulllock and Kidman are stepping into dual roles as actors and producers, shaping the film’s creative direction.
Interestingly, this film marks Sandra Bullock’s return to the big screen since 2022, following her roles in *The Lost City* and *Bullet Train*. The anticipation surrounding the project has only intensified given her and Kidman’s dedication to reviving the cherished narrative of the Owens sisters.
The storyline of *Practical Magic* is rooted in the struggle of Gillian and Sally Owens to break free from a family curse that prevents them from experiencing true love and brings tragedy to the men in their lives. This heart-wrenching yet magical premise has captured the imagination of viewers since its initial release.
As the date for *Practical Magic 2* approaches, excitement continues to build, leading to eager anticipation for the enchanting adventure that awaits in cinemas this September. For fans new and old alike, this sequel stands to be a spellbinding exploration of magic, love, and family ties that brings back the cherished characters who have become household icons over the years.
