Practical magic 2 It will arrive at theaters on September 18, 2026. The news was confirmed by an official position on X in May by Warner Bros, accompanied by some magical words of the stars of the film, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.
They can be heard recite a spell: “Wolf and dew in the morning. Something old and something new. Let the spell begin to mix. September 18, 2026”.
While it says “only in cinemas”, it is very true to come to HBO Max after that, since that is the official Warner Bros. Discovery transmission platform. Is where the original 1998 Practical magic I just dropped, if you want to remind you of magic.
Practical magic 2: Has a trailer been thrown?
There is no officer Practical magic 2 The advance yet, which is not surprising considering that the cast and the team have not announced any filming notice.
However, during an interview with Variety in February, Kidman revealed that the sequel “advances”, before closing more questions. I will make sure to update here when an official trailer falls.
Practical magic 2: Confirmed cast
As for the Practical magic 2 The delivery list goes, it is quite scarce. But, there are two crucial actors that will repeat their role, as reported by Variety:
- Sandra Bulock as Sally Owens
- Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens
Feels like Practical magic 2 It would not be possible without the return of Bullock and Kidman as the Sisters of Owens, so this casting’s announcement comes hand in hand with revealing the existence of the film makes a lot of sense (and it is a enormous relief).
To unite the cast perfectly, we wonder if Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest will also repeat their iconic roles such as Aunt Franny and Aunt Jet respectively. Both women are still acting, despite being 81 and 77, respectively.
However, there is an important member of the return crew, and that is Akiva Goldsman who co -wrote the original Practical magic And he has officially returned on board to write Practical magic 2.
Finally, although it has not yet been confirmed, Joey King is “in conversations” to play Sally’s daughter (according to the variety) and we will deepen the importance of this role in the section of the plot below.
Practical magic 2: Synopsis of history and rumors
Complete spoilers of Practical magic continue. In addition, potential spoilers of Practical magic 2.
The original Practical magic The film in 1998 is based on the first novel of the famous author’s series, Alice Hoffman. He followed Sally and Gillian, two reluctant witch sisters, who are raised by their aunts in a small town that addresses a curse that could prevent love from ever finding.
And, as they grow, they use their gift of practical magic to try to break the damn curse forever.
So, when it comes to the plot of Practical magic 2Mark a return to books. The Hoffman series consists of four novels; Practical magic (1995)The rules of magic (2017)Magic lessons (2020) and THE BOOK OF MAGIC (2021). And weekly entertainment revealed exclusively in July 2024 that THE BOOK OF MAGIC It would be the basis of the plot of the sequel.
Talking to EW, the producer Denise Di Novi said: “I think [fans are] I will be very happy. We will be very faithful. We are aware of how important those characters are and that film for so many people. We are not going to reinvent the wheel. “
We know for the official synopsis of the book that this, the Fourth of the Hoffman series, follows “three generations of Owens women, and a lost brother a long time ago”, as well as the “youngest generation”, including Kylie Owens, Sally’s daughter.
And, of course, there is already talk of launching Sally’s daughter, but I will not deepen the synopsis of this book for fear of revealing too much. I do not want the same generational curse that chases the Owens family that I can.
Will there be more practical magic movies?
Never say. While there is no suggestion that there is more Practical magic The films are on their way, I cannot say with certainty that this marks the end. That said, since Practical magic 2 It is based on the conclusive novel of his Alice Hoffman series, then for the story of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, at least, she feels … well, conclusive.
But, while another movie could be out of discussion, how about a television program? The two prequel novels that are intervened Practical magic and THE BOOK OF MAGIC They have been a focus of previous attempts, although failed, to bring Practical magic Go back to life.
The most recent by HBO Max, since I expected to create a television series in 2019. Established to focus on aunts, Franny and Jet, he failed to obtain the green light, but maybe Practical magic 2 Can magic return life?
I imagine that everything will depend on the success of the film: if it is a great success, spin-offs could be resolved quite fast.
