The ‘Practical Magic 2’ trailer landed on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, bringing Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman back as the Owens witches nearly thirty years after the original first cast its spell.
Warner Bros dropped the first full trailer for the legacy sequel, as reported by Deadline, picking up the Owens family story twenty-five years on.
The studio had already teased fans with a shorter clip, and more trailers are promised before the film finally arrives in cinemas.
What the Practical Magic 2 trailer reveals
The footage leans hard into the curse that has haunted the Owens women for generations, the one that dooms any man who falls in love with them. Set to Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut”, it hands real screen time to the next generation of the family.
Joey King plays Kylie Owens, Sally’s elder daughter, who stumbles onto the dark family history.
“Remember when mom would tell us stories where everyone who fell in love… died?” Kylie asks her sister, played by Maisie Williams as Antonia, in the trailer’s most quoted moment.
The clip also plays up the easy spark between the sisters. “Everything’s going to be okay,” Kidman’s Gillian says on a train, only for Bullock’s Sally to fire back, “Everything’s going to be okay?
Just like it was when we had to bury a corpse under a rose bush? That kind of fine, or different?”
‘Practical Magic 2’ release date and cast
Practical Magic 2 reaches cinemas in the United States on Friday, 11 September 2026, with the United Kingdom following on Friday, 18 September 2026. Susanne Bier directs from a script built on Alice Hoffman’s 2021 novel The Book of Magic.
Alongside Bullock and Kidman, Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing return as aunts Frances and Jet.
The new blood runs deep, with Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod joining a story that finally pulls the younger Owens generation into the magic.
Casting King and Williams as Sally’s daughters gives the film two of the more recognisable young leads working today, and the trailer makes clear the curse is now their problem to solve.
Their dynamic looks set to carry the emotional weight the first film handed to Bullock and Kidman.
The original Practical Magic arrived in 1998 and stumbled with critics before finding a devoted second life on home video and streaming, becoming a Halloween staple.
That slow-burn adoration is exactly why this sequel exists, and why the trailer is already racking up views from fans who grew up rewatching it.
For now the wait is the hard part, with two and a half months between this first proper look and opening night. Expect Warner Bros to keep the spell going with more trailers through the winter as the September release creeps closer.
