PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 Trailer Brings Sandra Bullock & Nicole Kidman Back for a Dark, Enchanting Return

Fans of witchy romance and family curses finally have something exciting to look forward to. Warner Bros. has dropped the first teaser for Practical Magic 2, giving us a long-awaited glimpse at the return of the Owens sisters.

After years of hope for a sequel to the 1998 cult favorite, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are back, and this time the magic feels heavier, darker, and a lot more dangerous.

The film picks up with Sally and Gillian Owens still dealing with the generational curse that has haunted their family for centuries.

Love has always come at a cost, and from the look of this teaser, that price hasn’t gotten any easier to pay. Instead, it’s pulling them into something deeper, forcing them to confront secrets that have lingered far too long.

The teaser opens with Sally’s voice setting the tone, pulling us right back into their eerie world: “I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family — the ones from Massachusetts, the ones their neighbors whisper are witches.”

That line reconnects the audience with the mythology that made the original film such a fan favorite. But things quickly take a turn when a mysterious character played by Lee Pace enters the picture. Sally doesn’t sugarcoat what it means to be close to them, warning him, “Everyone we love dies.”

Gillian, staying true to her sharp edge, follows it up with, “A really horrible death…It’s not great for the Tinder bio.”

That mix of dark humor and emotional weight is exactly what fans loved the first time around, and it looks like the sequel is leaning into it hard. There’s a sense that while the sisters have learned to live with the curse, they’re no longer willing to accept it.

The teaser is set to Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut Song,” and it also gives us a look at the next generation. Joey King and Maisie Williams play Sally’s daughters, who now find themselves entangled in the same dangerous legacy. The curse evolving, and it’s coming for them.

One of the teaser’s best exchanges captures the tension between the sisters. Sitting on a train with Pace’s character, Gillian tries to reassure everyone, saying, “Everything’s going to be okay.”

Sally immediately fires back, “Everything’s going to be okay? Just like it was when we had to bury a corpse under a rose bush? That kind of fine, or different?”

It’s a great reminder that their past is anything but normal, and whatever comes next won’t be either.

This time around, the film is directed by Susanne Bier, taking over from Griffin Dunne, who helmed the original adaptation of Alice Hoffman’s novel. The script comes from returning writer Akiva Goldsman, working alongside Succession writer Georgia Pritchett.

The cast also brings back familiar faces like Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, while adding new energy with Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod.

Practical Magic 2 hits theaters on September 11.
