More than two decades after Practical Magic (1998) bewitched audiences with its mix of romance, mysticism, and sisterhood, the Owens women return in Practical Magic 2 (2026)—a sequel steeped in love, loss, and the enduring power of family magic. This time, the circle widens, and the stakes grow darker than ever.
The trailer begins with a soft whisper over candlelight: “There is no spell stronger than love… and no curse more dangerous than fear.” We see the Owens’ ancestral home, its garden blooming under the moon, before the camera tilts to reveal storm clouds rolling in. A sense of unease immediately shrouds the familiar warmth.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens, now older, wiser, but still carrying scars of their family’s haunted legacy. Their daughters, grown into young women, struggle with their own identities as witches—torn between embracing the gift or fleeing from it.
But the past has teeth. A vengeful spirit tied to the Owens’ bloodline rises again, threatening not just the family, but the entire town. To stop it, Sally and Gillian must reopen wounds they buried long ago, and pass the craft fully to the next generation.
Visually, the film enchants with autumnal warmth and gothic edge. Glowing candlelit rituals, spell circles etched in salt, and windswept beaches under blood-red skies fill the screen. Magic feels tangible—spells scrawled in ink, herbs smoldering, whispers echoing as if the air itself remembers.
The emotional core is sisterhood—mothers and daughters, women bound by love and loss, navigating both the mundane and the mystical. The humor of the original remains: kitchen-table banter, quirky small-town encounters, and even a midnight margarita callback that will make fans smile through their tears.
The antagonist spirit, however, lends the story its darker heart. The trailer shows flickering glimpses: mirrors cracking, voices hissing from shadows, and townsfolk turning against the Owens under its curse. This isn’t just about magic—it’s about fear, community, and the strength to face what generations tried to bury.
The score sways between melancholy strings and soaring choral harmonies, with hints of Stevie Nicks-inspired vocals weaving into the soundtrack. It’s haunting yet hopeful, grounding the supernatural in human emotion.
The trailer crescendos with flashes of ritual and chaos: the Owens women chanting in unison, Gillian drawing a blade across her palm to seal a spell, and Sally’s daughter whispering incantations as the spirit rises in a whirlwind of fire and glass.
The final image is striking: the Owens sisters and their daughters standing in a glowing circle at dawn, hands clasped, their voices rising together. Sally’s whisper closes the trailer: “There is no curse we cannot break… if we face it together.”
The title fades in over swirling smoke: Practical Magic 2 (2026).
This sequel doesn’t just revisit the Owens—it expands their legacy, weaving a tale of inheritance, resilience, and the timeless truth that the strongest magic is love.
