Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are returning to the screen as witchy sisters Sally and Gillian Owens in a sequel to 1998’s Practical Magic.
The original movie saw the sisters try to break an ancient family curse that saw any men who fell in love with either of the sisters meet an untimely end; it’s what my daughter would undoubtedly call whimsical.
The sequel was announced out of the blue by Warner Brothers when they dropped a teaser on their socials, below.
I had no idea the first movie, which I haven’t seen, despite being very much in love with Bullock in the 90s, had such a big following that a sequel was wanted, but here we are.
I must rent the first one…
The synopsis of the first movie reads:
Enchanting international superstars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman sparkle in this wry, romantic tale of two sisters who discover the gift of Practical Magic. In a small, contemporary New England town, for two sisters from a family of witches, falling in love is the trickiest spell of all. They struggle to use their gift for magically guiding fate to overcome their family curse: The men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death!
The spell is cast. The date is set. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return. Only In Theaters September 18, 2026.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
