We’ve made midnight margaritas, planted lavender for luck and thrown salt over our left shoulder, now our dreams of a Practical Magic 2 are coming true.
Whether it’s the universe or Warner Bros granting witchy fans this gift, the globe went into a frenzy upon hearing the news.
Practical Magic follows sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman) who could be likened to the sun and the moon – completely different but travel the same path.
They separate into their own carefree lives as adults until Sally’s beloved husband Michael dies from a curse and so too does Gillian’s abusive boyfriend. Together the witchy sisters attempt to outwit a detective without the help of their brilliant aunts Frances and Jet.
As for how the sequel will continue from the original movie remains unknown with Warner Bros simply writing, “It’s official… Practical Magic 2 is coming!” on a TikTok post.
While witches around the globe impatiently wait for the new installation, we take a look at where the original cast members of Practical Magic are now. Continue scrolling to read.
