More than two decades after audiences first fell under its spell, the Owens sisters are officially back. The first full trailer for Practical Magic 2 has arrived, confirming that Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have reunited to confront the family curse once more, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.

The long-awaited sequel finds Sally (Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman) facing a new crisis as the infamous family curse threatens the next generation. The trailer opens with a sentimental reminder of their bond, featuring Aunt Frances (Stockard Channing) declaring that "no magic is stronger than sisterhood" as images of the Owens women flash across the screen . However, the nostalgic mood quickly gives way to danger.

The central conflict shifts to Sally's daughters, Kylie and Antonia, played by Joey King and Maisie Williams . After years of being told stories about the family's tragic romantic history, Kylie is forced to confront the terrifying reality when her boyfriend is involved in a life-threatening accident . In a heartbreaking scene, Sally tearfully confesses to her daughter: "It's true. We're witches and the curse is real" . This revelation shatters Kylie's trust, leading her to vow to "fix the curse" and embark on a dangerous mission that forces the Owens sisters to chase after her .

Their quest takes the family to the United Kingdom, where they encounter a mysterious "scholar of the craft" named Ian, played by Lee Pace . The trailer hints at a fun dynamic between the Owens women and the new character, including a moment where they find him completely naked and under a spell . As the sisters work to save Kylie, Sally also confronts her fear of her own powers, revealing a deep-seated anxiety about her daughters inheriting the same abilities .

Director Susanne Bier, known for her work with both leads on Bird Box and The Perfect Couple, is at the helm of the film . The screenplay is written by Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the original 1998 film, along with Georgia Pritchett and Kelly Marcel . The sequel draws inspiration from the beloved novel The Book of Magic, the final entry in Alice Hoffman's popular book series .

The cast is a mix of beloved veterans and fresh faces. Alongside Bullock, Kidman, Channing, and Wiest, the film features Joey King, Maisie Williams, Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod . Notably, the sequel will see a new dynamic between King and Bullock, as they previously starred together in the 2022 action film Bullet Train, while King and Kidman appeared in the Netflix romantic comedy A Family Affair . The film is set to release in theaters on September 11, 2026 .

The recent CinemaCon presentation gave fans a taste of the promotional charm to expect, as Bullock and Kidman delighted the crowd with a playful riff on Kidman's famous AMC Theatres commercial. Bullock asked the question, "Why do we come here, Nicole?" to which Kidman replied with her iconic line, "We come to this place for magic" . The genuine camaraderie between the stars has fueled excitement for the film's release this fall, promising a spellbinding cinematic experience.
