Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are reuniting for a Practical Magic sequel, and as it turns out, we won’t have much longer to wait before the we get to experience it.
In the 1998 cult film, Bullock and Kidman play sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, two young witches, who are tasked with banishing a curse that prevents them from finding love.
The sequel, Practical Magic 2, was first announced by Warner Bros on Instagram last year, when they posted a series of videos with the caption, “It’s official! Practical Magic 2 is in development and coming soon.”
Now, we finally have more detail, as a teaser trailer featuring Kidman’s recognisable voice, cast its spell.
Below, everything we know about the film’s second instalment.
When Will Practical Magic 2 Be Released?
Lucky for the world’s witches who’ve been waiting with baited breath for their favourite sorceresses to cast their spell over our hearts once more, the Practical Magic sequel is on the horizon.
In a tantalisingly simple video released on May 7, 2025, Kidman’s character utters “Tooth of wolf and morning dew, something old and something new. Let the spell begin to mix,” before adding: “September 18 2026.”
Who Will Star In The Practical Magic 2?
Variety reported early on that Kidman and Bullock will be reprising their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens, which means we’re going to be catching up with the sisters in a different phase of life.
Scriptwriter, Akiva Goldsman, who adapted author Alice Hoffman’s original novel, will be returning as well, having signed on to pen the sequel’s screenplay.
And, in news that hints towards the beloved sequel getting the treatment it deserves, the film’s original producer, Denise Di Novi, has also confirmed she’ll be part of production, telling People magazine that she intends to “honour” the original.
“I think the big mistake people make with sequels is when they kind of want to reinvent the wheel and be totally original and surprise people that it’s different or whatever,” said Di Novi at the time.
“There’s a joyousness to that movie, and there’s such beautiful themes of sisterhood and family and acceptance, tolerance, love,” Di Novi added. “Just the title that Alice Hoffman, the amazing author, thought of that’s now become part of the vernacular of Practical Magic is that there’s magic in daily life, in love, in family, in sisterhood. It’s magical, and we all have our gifts, and women have very particular and specific gifts. We really want to honour all of that.”
What Is The Plot Of Practical Magic Two?
While not much is known about the exact plot of the upcoming Practical Magic sequel, we do know that the film will adapt Hoffman’s The Book of Magic.
The novel is the fourth in the book series and is also the follow-up instalment to the novel adapted for the original film.
