Exciting news for fans of the cult classic film ‘Practical Magic’ – the highly anticipated sequel, ‘Practical Magic 2’, has finally received a confirmed release date. After much speculation and anticipation since the official confirmation of Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reprising their roles as the Owens sisters in June 2024, Warner Bros. has announced that the movie is set to premiere on September 18, 2026.
The original movie, which was based on the 1995 novel of the same name, follows the story of two sisters who are witches struggling against a curse that leads to the death of any man they fall in love with. The chemistry between Kidman and Bullock on screen has captivated audiences, with Kidman expressing her love for the film during a reunion with Bullock at the 2018 Academy Awards red carpet. Kidman even mentioned sharing the movie with her children, although she hinted that they might not fully grasp its complexity just yet.
In a bid to expand on the beloved storyline, a new sequel was set in motion, following an unsuccessful attempt by HBO to create a series titled ‘Rules of Magic’ in 2019, based on the prequel novel. With ‘Practical Magic 2’, fans can look forward to the return of the dynamic duo of Kidman and Bullock, who are not only reprising their roles but also taking on roles behind the scenes as producers alongside Denise Di Novi. The screenplay will be penned by Akiva Goldsman, known for his work on ‘A Beautiful Mind’.
The release date announcement, made by Warner Bros. on social media in May 2025, has created a buzz among eager fans. The teaser featured voices of Bullock and Kidman reciting a spell-related rhyme, enhancing the anticipation for the movie’s premiere in 2026. The sequel promises to delve deeper into the magical world of the Owens sisters and their adventures, providing a fresh perspective while retaining the essence of the original film.

The availability of the original movie serves as a perfect opportunity for fans to relive the magic and reconnect with the characters and storyline that set the stage for the upcoming sequel.
