Will Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman be reprising their iconic roles? Yes, they actually will. The sequel is ready to deliver again a minimum of that a lot of the unique’s spellbinding magic, with each Sally and Gillian Owens performed by the unique actors.

Marked as a theatrical launch at first, it’s going to virtually actually arrive on HBO Max after that, as a Warner film – the unique Practical Magic has discovered its dwelling there.

And who is aware of, Practical Magic 2 might properly discover itself among the many greatest Max motion pictures to observe on the most effective streaming companies. Here’s every part we all know up to now about Practical Magic 2 from launch date, to solid, to plot and a lot extra.

There’s no official Practical Magic 2 trailer but, which isn’t shocking contemplating the solid and crew have not introduced any discover of filming.

During an interview with Variety in February although, Kidman revealed that the sequel is “shifting forward quickly”, earlier than shutting down any additional questions. I’ll be sure you replace right here when an official trailer drops.

Practical Magic 2: confirmed solid

As far because the Practical Magic 2 solid record goes, it is fairly sparse. But, there’s two essential actors who will probably be reprising their position, as reported by Variety:

• Sandra Bullock as Sally Owens
• Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens

It feels as if Practical Magic 2 would not be attainable with out the return of Bullock and Kidman because the Owens’ sisters, so this casting announcement coming hand-in-hand with revealing the film’s existence makes whole sense (and is a large reduction).

To tie the solid collectively completely, we’re questioning if Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest will even reprise their iconic roles as Aunt Franny and Aunt Jet respectively. Both girls are nonetheless appearing, regardless of being 81 and 77 years outdated, respectively.

There is a crucial crew member returning, although, and that is Akiva Goldsman who co-wrote the unique Practical Magic. And he is formally again on board for writing Practical Magic 2.

Practical Magic 2: story synopsis and rumors

Full spoilers for Practical Magic to observe. Plus, potential spoilers for Practical Magic 2.

The unique Practical Magic film in 1998 is predicated on the primary novel within the famed collection by writer, Alice Hoffman. It adopted Sally and Gillian, two reluctant witch sisters, who’re raised by their aunts in a small city tackling a curse that might cease them from ever discovering love.

And, as they develop up, they use their present of sensible magic to attempt to break the wretched curse for good.

So, in the case of the plot of Practical Magic 2, it marks a return to the books. Hoffman’s collection consists of 4 novels; Practical Magic (1995), The Rules of Magic (2017), Magic Lessons (2020) and The Book of Magic (2021). And Entertainment Weekly solely revealed in July 2024 that The Book of Magic could be the idea of the sequel’s plot.

Speaking to EW, producer Denise Di Novi mentioned: “I feel [fans are] going to be very happy. We’re going to be very trustworthy. We’re cognizant to how vital these characters and that film are to so many individuals. We’re not going to reinvent the wheel.”

We know from the official ebook synopsis that this, the fourth in Hoffman’s collection, follows “three generations of the Owens girls, and one long-lost brother”, in addition to the “youthful era” together with Kylie Owens, the daughter of Sally.

And, in fact, there’s already talks about casting Sally’s daughter, however I will not delve into the synopsis of this ebook any additional for worry of unveiling an excessive amount of. I do not need the identical generational curse that haunts the Owens household coming down on me.

Will there be extra Practical Magic motion pictures?

Never say by no means. While there is no suggestion that any extra Practical Magic motion pictures are on the way in which, I can not say for sure that this marks the tip. That mentioned, on condition that Practical Magic 2 is predicated round Alice Hoffman’s conclusive novel of her collection, then for Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s story a minimum of, it feels… properly, conclusive.

But, whereas one other film may be out of the query, how a couple of TV present? The two prequel novels that got here between Practical Magic and The Book of Magic have been a spotlight of earlier, although failed, makes an attempt to deliver Practical Magic again to life.

The most up-to-date by HBO Max because it hoped to create a TV collection in 2019. Set to concentrate on the aunts, Franny and Jet, it didn’t get the inexperienced gentle, however maybe Practical Magic 2 can deliver the magic again to life?

I think about it’s going to all rely upon the success of the film – if it is a huge hit, spin-offs may very well be labored out fairly rapidly.
