Nearly three decades after the Owens sisters first cast their spell on audiences, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are officially back. The first full trailer for the long-awaited sequel, Practical Magic 2, has arrived, promising a return to a world of moonlit mischief, powerful ancestral magic, and a family curse that refuses to stay buried. Set for release on September 11, the film brings the beloved sister act back to the big screen alongside a new generation of witches facing the same dark fate .

The new trailer confirms that the sequel will pick up years after the events of the 1998 classic. Sally Owens, played by Bullock, is now a mother to two daughters, portrayed by Joey King and Maisie Williams. While Sally has tried to build a quiet life focused on family, the sinister family curse—which dictates that any man an Owens woman loves will meet a tragic end—continues to loom over them . The peace is shattered when King's character, Kylie, falls in love, only to witness her boyfriend suffer a horrific accident, forcing the family to confront the curse once more .

The official synopsis for Practical Magic 2 reveals that the Owens sisters must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family "once and for all." The film expands the magical universe significantly with a star-studded cast. In addition to King and Williams, the ensemble includes Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, and the return of Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing as the eccentric aunts, Jet and Franny . The film is based on Alice Hoffman's novel The Book of Magic, continuing the story of the Owens family .

Behind the camera is acclaimed director Susanne Bier, whose previous collaborations with both leads made her a natural fit for the project. Bier directed Bullock in the hit thriller Bird Box and worked with Kidman on the Netflix series The Perfect Couple . The screenplay was written by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the original film, alongside Georgia Pritchett, known for her work on Succession . Both Bullock and Kidman serve as producers on the film, marking Bullock's first starring role since 2022 .

The release of the trailer also brought a playful moment for fans. At CinemaCon, Bullock and Kidman took the stage to promote the film. In a nod to Kidman's famous AMC commercial, Bullock asked her co-star, "Why do we come here, Nicole?" Without missing a beat, Kidman delivered the iconic line, "We come to this place for magic," sending the audience into applause . The pair have described the reunion as feeling like coming home . Practical Magic 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on September 11, 2026, offering audiences a nostalgic yet fresh return to the Owens family's enchanting world.
