Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reunite as the Owens sisters in Practical Magic 2, a bewitching mix of romance, fantasy, and comedy. Director Susanne Bier brings a fresh vision to the beloved witchy franchise, now casting its spell in Belgian cinemas.
Twenty-eight years after the original Practical Magic charmed audiences, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are back as Sally and Gillian Owens. This time, they must confront the dark curse that has haunted their family for generations—once and for all. With a runtime of 130 minutes, the film blends romance, fantasy, and comedy into a spellbinding sequel that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
Behind the camera, Danish director Susanne Bier (Oscar winner for In a Better World) takes the reins, bringing her signature emotional depth to the magical mayhem. Did you know? Bier is the first female director to helm a Practical Magic film, and she insisted on practical effects over CGI whenever possible, giving the magic a tactile, old-school charm. The cast also welcomes newcomers Joey King, Maisie Williams, and Xolo Maridueña, who play pivotal roles in the Owens family legacy.
Fans of the original will recall that the first film was based on Alice Hoffman's novel and became a cult classic for its portrayal of sisterhood and witchcraft. This sequel picks up decades later, exploring how the curse has evolved and what it takes to break it. The mix of romance and comedy keeps the tone light, but the stakes are higher than ever.
With a current TMDB rating of 6.1, the film is already sparking conversations among fans. Whether you're a longtime admirer of the Owens sisters or a newcomer to their world, Practical Magic 2 offers a magical escape that's perfect for a night at the Belgian cinema.
