Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are returning as the ’90s witch sisters in Practical Magic 2, and Deadline reports today that two other stars of the original film are coming back.
Dianne Wiest will be back as Aunt Jet with Stockard Channing returning as Aunt Frances in Practical Magic 2, which will be releasing in theaters on September 18, 2026.
Additionally, Lee Pace (Foundation), Maisie Williams (The New Look), Xolo Maridueña (Blue Beetle), and Solly McLeod (The Dead Don’t Hurt) have joined the cast this week.
Joey King (The Princess) is reportedly playing the daughter of Kidman’s character.
The filmmakers said in statement today, “Twenty-five years ago, Sally, Gillian, Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny flew off the pages of Alice Hoffman’s beloved novel and into theaters around the world, and we are thrilled to bring the Owens family back to the big screen with Joey, Lee, Maisie, Solly and Xolo joining the next chapter in our story. The enduring affection for these characters has been our inspiration to deliver the next installment in the Owens’ story to new fans, and those who’ve been with us since the beginning.”
Bird Box director Susanne Bier will be directing Practical Magic 2 for Warner Bros.
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 Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic book series.
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 Denise Di Novi.
