Get ready to dust off your broomsticks and brew up some midnight margaritas because the Owens women are back! After 26 long years, Warner Bros. has cast a spell on fans by announcing the much-anticipated sequel to “Practical Magic,” the beloved tale of sisterly love and witchy mischief.
The excitement started brewing even earlier when a mysterious midnight announcement on TikTok revealed that the film was now available digitally and available to stream on Max. However, the real surprise came the next morning when the studio officially confirmed the sequel was in the works. “It’s official,” Warner Bros. announced on Instagram. “Practical Magic 2 is in development and coming soon.”
Directed by Griffin Dunne, “Practical Magic” adapted the 1995 novel by Alice Hoffman. The story follows two sisters, Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), who come from a long line of witches. Orphaned at a young age, they are raised by their eccentric aunts, who embrace their magical heritage. However, the Owens family is cursed: any man who falls in love with an Owens woman is doomed to an untimely death.
Akiva Goldsman, who crafted the enchanting story of the original film alongside Robin Swicord and Adam Brooks, will return to write the screenplay. Sandra and Nicole are expected to produce alongside the original’s producer Denise Di Novi. While the details of the sequel’s plot are shrouded in mystery like a well-cast spell, fans are already conjuring up theories about what adventures lie ahead for the Owens family. With the curse of doomed love seemingly broken, could there be more secrets and curses waiting to be uncovered in the past 20 years?
Here’s what excited fans are saying about the sequel:
So, grab your witchy besties and get ready for another spellbinding chapter in the Owens sisters’ saga. With Sandra and Nicole back with the cauldron, “Practical Magic 2” promises to cast a spell that will leave fans spellbound once again. Stay tuned for more updates as the magic unfolds!
