Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are returning as witch sisters Sally and Gillian Owens in Practical Magic 2, and the witchy sisters have summoned the official release date for the sequel.
Warner Bros. will conjure the sequel to theaters on September 18, 2026.
In the announcement below, Bullock and Kidman’s voices can be heard, casting a spell that leads to the release date reveal.
It was recently reported that Bird Box director Susanne Bier was in talks to helm Practical Magic 2. In the 1998 film, based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel, “Two witch sisters (Bullock and Kidman), raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.”
No plot details have been revealed for Practical Magic 2 as of yet, but the sequel is reportedly based on a later installment in Hoffman’s Practical Magic book series. It also feels safe to assume that the Owens’ family bad luck streak with love hasn’t run out quite yet.
Practical Magic was released in theaters for Halloween 1998, scaring up $68.3 million against a reported $75 million production budget. The film has since gained an ardent cult following that helped usher in a sequel nearly three decades later.
Akiva Goldsman (I Am Legend, A Beautiful Mind), who co-wrote the original, is returning to pen the sequel. Bullock and Kidman are producing alongside returning producer Denise Di Novi.
With a release date now in place, expect to hear a lot more about this sequel in the coming months.
