Dust off the spellbooks: Practical Magic 2 is officially conjuring its way to cinemas.
Warner Bros. has announced a theatrical release date of September 18, 2026 for the long-anticipated sequel to the 1998 cult classic, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprising their beloved roles as witchy sisters Sally and Gillian Owens.
The follow-up will draw from a later installment in Alice Hoffman’s “Practical Magic” book series, though plot details remain under wraps.
The original film, which saw the Owens sisters battling a centuries-old family curse, flopped at the box office but has since found new life as a fan favourite.
A short teaser released by Warner Bros. features a voiceover incantation from Bullock and Kidman.
The spell is cast. The date is set. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return. Only In Theaters September 18, 2026.

The sequel will share its release weekend with Sony’s Resident Evil reboot directed by Zach Cregger, setting the stage for a magical box office faceoff.
Susanne Bier will direct the film from a script by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the original. The sequel is being produced by Bullock and Kidman alongside original producer Denise Di Novi.
At a February event, Kidman revealed the project was “moving ahead rapidly,” confirming fans’ hopes after years of sequel rumours and a scrapped prequel series.
Bullock and Kidman—both Oscar winners since the first film’s release—will now bring their star power back to the spellbinding universe that blends sisterhood, heartbreak, and a dash of the supernatural.
As anticipation brews, Warner Bros. has encouraged fans to rewatch the original Practical Magic, now streaming on MAX.
