Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are back for more magic.
Warner Bros. has released the trailer for “Practical Magic 2” after it was debuted last week to attendees at CinemaCon, the annual convention for movie theater owners in Las Vegas. It will arrive in theaters this fall on Sept. 11.
Directed by Susanne Bier, the sequel “returns to a world steeped in moonlit mischief and powerful ancestral magic, as the Owens sisters must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all in a must-see cinematic event of fun, magic and mayhem.”
In addition to Kidman and Bullock back as Sally and Gilly Owens, the cast includes Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are also back as Frances and Jet Owens, Sally and Gilly’s aunts, after starring in the original 1998 film.
In the sequel, Sally has adult daughters now starting lives of their own, while Gilly has settled into a cozy life with a black cat. It doesn’t take long for trouble to find them — Pace’s mystery character pulls the sisters from their quaint New England town on a dramatic assignment.
Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett wrote the sequel, which is based on the 2021 novel “The Book of Magic” by Alice Hoffman, the fourth in her “Practical Magic” book series. Denise DiNovi, Bullock and Kidman produce. Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Donald Sabourin and Hoffman serve as executive producers.
