Practical Magic 2 Trailer Drops: Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock Return for Magical Sequel

Warner Bros. unveiled the official trailer for *Practical Magic 2* on June 24, reigniting anticipation for the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 film. The preview features Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as the Owens sisters, reuniting to confront the family’s cursed legacy. The film is set for a September 11, 2026, release, according to the studio.

What’s in the Trailer?

The trailer highlights the Owens sisters’ struggle with their generational curse, which “undoes anyone who falls in love with them,” as Kidman’s character, Gillian, warns. Bullock’s Sally introduces her daughter to the family’s magical heritage after a tragic accident, stating, “we’re witches and the curse is real.” The preview also teases Lee Pace as a new romantic interest, with Kidman’s character ominously declaring, “Everyone we love dies.”

Who’s in the Cast?

Bullock and Kidman reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian, with Joey King as Sally’s daughter and Xolo Maridueña and Maisie Williams joining the cast. Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing return as the aunts who raised the sisters. The film’s production team includes director Susanne Bier, known for *Bird Box*, and screenwriters Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett, who worked on the original 1998 film.

How Does the Plot Continue?

The sequel picks up with Sally, now a mother of two, and Gillian, who remains child-free but lives with her cat. The trailer confirms the return to the iconic cliffside house, which was rebuilt for the film. Kidman described the setting as “filled with many old and new characters,” referencing Alice Hoffman’s *Book of Magic*, the source material for the original novel.

When Is the Release Date?

*Practical Magic 2* is scheduled to open in theaters on September 11, 2026. The teaser trailer debuted at CinemaCon on April 14, where Bullock and Kidman joked about “magic” during a presentation. Bullock later shared an Instagram video of herself mixing “midnight margaritas,” a nod to the original film’s memorable scene.

Why Does This Matter?

The sequel marks a significant return for the *Practical Magic* franchise, which originally starred Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as the Owens sisters. The film’s exploration of witchcraft and familial bonds resonated with audiences, and the sequel aims to honor its legacy while introducing new characters. The project also highlights Warner Bros.’ strategy to revive nostalgic properties, following successes like *The Flash* and *DC League of Super-Pets*.
