Fans of the original Practical Magic film from 1998 are eagerly anticipating the release of Practical Magic 2, which will see stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman returning to reprise their roles as witchy sisters Sally and Gillian Owens. Bullock is said to be thrilled about the sequel and excited to work alongside Kidman once again. The movie, based on a book by Alice Hoffman, follows the sisters as they try to defeat an evil spirit and break a curse that prevents them from finding lasting love. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics initially, the original film has become a beloved fan favorite over the years.
Plot details for the upcoming sequel are being kept under wraps, but both Bullock and Kidman believe that the story is worth revisiting. Warner Bros. is reportedly aiming to begin production on the film within the next year, with a planned release date set for 2025. Both actresses will be involved in producing the movie, along with original producer Denise Di Novi. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, known for his work on “A Beautiful Mind,” has been tapped to write the screenplay for the sequel.
Fans have been eager for a Practical Magic sequel since the original film premiered, as Hoffman’s book series includes four novels. The author herself has praised the 1998 adaptation, noting that while it differs from the book, the core theme of female relationships and sisterhood has resonated with audiences. Bullock has also spoken fondly of her time filming the original movie, particularly recalling a memorable scene where her character and Kidman’s character share midnight margaritas with their aunts. Bullock revealed that Kidman may have taken the drinking a bit too far during filming the scene.
Details about the plot of Practical Magic 2 remain a mystery, but fans are excited to see what adventures await the Owens sisters in the upcoming sequel. The reunion of Bullock and Kidman on screen is highly anticipated, and the actresses are looking forward to working together once again. With production set to begin soon, fans can expect more updates and information about the film as the release date approaches.
