Decades after the first film, the Owens sisters are pulled back together in Practical Magic 2, a 2026 continuation of the family's long history with witchcraft and the curse that keeps finding a way back.
What is Practical Magic 2 about?
A curse that a family thought it had outrun rarely stays buried forever, and that is the pressure driving this return to the Owens household. The sisters at the center of the story are older now, settled into lives that assumed the worst chapter was behind them, until a new sign of the old family curse forces them back into the same kitchen, the same garden, and the same uneasy rituals that once saved them. Rather than repeating the first film's shape, the story widens the household to a next generation, whose presence raises the stakes of getting the curse wrong this time. Director Susanne Bier keeps the tone anchored in family — arguments over the dinner table as much as spellwork in the greenhouse — so that the supernatural threat never crowds out the more grounded question of what the Owens women owe each other. The result leans on memory as much as magic, asking whether a family can finally close a chapter it thought it already closed once.
About the cast
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as the Owens sisters, joined by Joey King, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Lee Pace, Dianne Wiest, and Stockard Channing as the wider circle of family and outsiders drawn into the curse's return.
Context & significance
Practical Magic 2 is a 2026 American production directed by Susanne Bier, arriving decades after the original built a devoted following around its blend of family drama and low-key supernatural charm. Rather than treating the original as a closed story, this continuation leans into the idea that a curse tied to a bloodline rarely ends with one generation, giving the returning cast and a new set of family members reason to face it together.
