It must be the season of the witches… because Practical Magic 2 is here, at last! Grab your broomstick, the Owens women are back. It’s been 28 years since Practical Magic, could they not have magicked this sequel into existence any quicker?
But good things come to witches who wait, and the story of two witchy sisters brought up by their eccentric aunts is finally getting the follow-up we’ve been quietly summoning under our breaths for years…
Despite an initial struggle at the box office, Practical Magic went on to become a cult classic. It cast a spell over a devoted audience who returned to it year after year, turning an annual rewatch into an autumnal ritual.
So Practical Magic 2 has finally hit our screens and we have questions. Most pressingly, will the curse remain? Any future lover of the Owens women had better watch out, because history suggests he's in serious danger. Any man they set their hearts on is doomed to meet an untimely end.
And let's not forget what happened when the sisters tried to use a little magic to put one problem to rest, only to unleash a far greater and darker force.
Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman and Stockard Channing are all back to play the roles of Sally, Gillian and their aunt; Sally’s children Kylie and Antonia are played by Joey King and Maisie Williams.
With the sequel ready to work its magic, let's look at the spellbinding story threads brewing in Practical Magic 2.

The Owens family curse lives on
At the heart of Practical Magic lies the Owens generations-long family curse. Any man who falls in love with an Owens woman is destined for tragedy. It's the powerful curse Sally and Gillian have been living with for years, and we can’t wait to see how the younger generation of Owens women deal with it. What hidden family secrets will be unearthed? How will they embrace their magical legacy?
A new generation takes centre stage
For all its witchcraft, spells and whimsy, Practical Magic is really a story about sisters. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman portrayed Sally and Gillian's bond down to a tee, showing how family can help you weather heartbreak, grief and even the occasional evil spirit.
Sally’s daughters, Kylie and Antonia, find themselves at the heart of their family’s history and magical inheritance. We watch the effect the curse has on their lives, but Sally and Gillian remain at the heart of Practical Magic 2.
A quest to finally break the spell
Sally discovers that fate has a mischievous streak of its own, no matter how much she tries to protect herself and her family. The Owens women take a trip to the UK to unearth buried secrets, trace the roots of their powers and free the family from the powerful grip of the curse once and for all.
The cosiest witch house in cinema
Let's talk about their home. Midnight margaritas, candlelit rooms, a bustling kitchen and a healthy dose of chaos. The Owens dwelling feels like a magical sanctuary from the outside world, filled with warmth, charm and just a touch of enchantment. We’re so looking forward to stepping through the door again.
Why we're still under its spell
We love Practical Magic because it celebrates women lifting each other up. Family, friendship, love and a little bit of magical mischief are woven through every scene. Along with peak autumnal cosiness and a generous sprinkling of magic, that’s is why we’re breaking out our broomsticks to fly to Cineworld and fall under the Owens family’s spell once more.
We are ready to be bewitched.
