Get ready to dive back into the bewitching world of the Owens sisters!
After 26 years, Warner Bros. has officially announced a sequel to the ’90s cult classic Practical Magic, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in talks to reprise their iconic roles.
The magic returns
For those who need a refresher, Practical Magic is the beloved tale of the witchy Owens sisters, played by Bullock and Kidman, who find themselves in a supernatural mess when Bullock’s character accidentally kills Kidman’s abusive ex-boyfriend.
The original film, directed by Griffin Dunne and adapted from Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel, is a spooky season staple and a must-watch for anyone into witchy vibes and crystal magic.
The buzz begins
Fans started buzzing with excitement when Warner Bros. made an official announcement on Instagram on Monday (June 10) at midnight.
The studio even shared a nostalgic clip from the iconic “midnight margaritas” scene, where characters Sally Owens (Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Kidman) dance to the song Coconut.The text overlay on the clip read, “Me & the girls finding out that Practical Magic 2 is happening.”
The caption confirmed, “It’s official… Practical Magic 2 is coming!”
What we know so far
The screenplay for the new film will be penned by Akiva Goldsman, and Bullock and Kidman are not only expected to star but also to produce alongside Denise Di Novi.
The sequel will reportedly follow the Owens sisters as they navigate new magical challenges and family curses, keeping the legacy alive for a new generation.
Back in 2019, HBO Max was working on a series adaptation of Hoffman’s prequel novel The Rules of Magic, which focused on the Owens family in the 1960s. Although this series never materialised, the enduring fandom for the cult flick kept hope alive for a return to the magical world.
