Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman Set to Return in “Practical Magic 2”
Warner Bros. Studios has confirmed the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 romantic fantasy Practical Magic, with stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in talks to reprise their roles as the enchanting Owens sisters.
The announcement, made via the studio’s social media channels, has sent waves of excitement through fans who have been eagerly anticipating a return to the mystical world of the Owens family.
The sequel, aptly titled Practical Magic 2, will see the creative reunion of acclaimed writer Akiva Goldsman, who penned the screenplay for the original film, alongside Bullock and Kidman, who are expected to take on producing roles alongside Denise Di Novi.
Details surrounding the plot of the sequel remain tightly under wraps, heightening anticipation for what magical adventures lie ahead for Sally and Gillian Owens.
The first movie of Practical Magic, directed by Griffin Dunne and based on Alice Hoffman’s novel, told the story of two sisters who were witches. They had a family curse that made it dangerous for any man who fell in love with them.
The film was loved for its magical storyline and touching moments, creating a strong fan base who wanted more.
The confirmation of “Practical Magic 2” comes after years of speculation and rumors regarding the possibility of a sequel or spinoff series.
In 2019, HBO Max teased fans with the prospect of a spinoff series titled “Rules of Magic,” based on Hoffman’s prequel novel, but the project failed to materialize. However, the enduring popularity of the original film and its beloved characters have kept hopes alive for a continuation of the story.
