Warner Bros. confirms the sequel to the beloved witchy classic!
Fans of the 1998 romance-fantasy film “Practical Magic” have reason to rejoice as Warner Bros. officially announces the long-awaited sequel, “Practical Magic 2.” The news comes with speculation swirling about the return of iconic stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as the enchanting Owens sisters, Sally and Gillian.
Warner Bros. took to TikTok to unveil the exciting news, sharing a clip from the original movie with the caption, “It’s official… Practical Magic 2 is coming!” While negotiations are underway, it’s reported that both Bullock and Kidman are in talks to reprise their roles and even take on producer credits.
Familiar Faces and New Talent Behind the Scenes
Behind the camera, the sequel promises a blend of seasoned talent and fresh perspectives. Denise Di Novi, known for her work on female-centric films like “Heathers” and “Little Women,” is set to produce alongside the original film’s writer, Akiva Goldsman, who will helm the screenplay.
Revisiting the Magic
For those unfamiliar with the original film, “Practical Magic” follows the journey of two sisters, Sally and Gillian Owens, who are descendants of a long line of witches. Raised by their eccentric aunts and trained in the art of practical magic, the sisters find themselves grappling with love, loss, and a centuries-old curse.
While the original movie received mixed reviews upon its release, it garnered a devoted fan base over the years, drawn to its unique blend of romance, comedy, and supernatural elements.
A Bittersweet History
The announcement of the sequel comes after the disappointment of a canceled prequel series, which was set to explore the backstory of the sisters’ aunts. Despite the setback, fans can now look forward to a continuation of the Owens family saga.
What Lies Ahead
Details about the sequel remain scarce, including a release date. However, anticipation is already building among fans eager to return to the magical world of “Practical Magic.”
In the meantime, viewers can revisit the original film, which is currently streaming on Max, and prepare for the return of midnight margaritas and spellbinding adventures.
