The sequel to Practical Magic is aiming to enchant viewers in the fall of 2026.
Warner Bros. took to social media Tuesday to announce that director Susanne Bier’s forthcoming feature Practical Magic 2 is set to hit theaters Sept. 18, 2026. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are returning from the original that was released Oct. 16, 1998.
“Tooth of wolf and morning dew, something old and something new,” Kidman says in voiceover in the film’s social media post. “Let the spell begin to mix. September 18, 2026.”

Also set for release on that date is director Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil reboot for Sony.
Akiva Goldsman, who worked on the original Practical Magic’s script, penned the sequel’s screenplay. Denise Di Novi, the producer on the 1998 movie, is producing the new one with Bullock and Kidman.
Plot details for the sequel have not yet been shared. The first Practical Magic centers on Bullock and Kidman as Sally and Gillian Owens, a pair of orphaned sisters who descend from a line of witches and work to use their powers against a curse that prevents them from finding love.
Practical Magic did not cast much of a spell at the global box office, collecting $46.7 million ($91.6 million today).
Di Novi told People last summer that she expected the sequel to honor the original. “I think the big mistake people make with sequels is when they kind of want to reinvent the wheel and be totally original and surprise people that it’s different or whatever,” the producer said at the time.
