What is Practical Magic 2 about?
Practical Magic 2 is centred around the story of the Owens Sisters as they work to break the curse that has haunted their bloodline for generations - as every romantic partner they have dies.
The plot follows a new generation of Owens women, as they embark on a journey to uncover hidden secrets and finally end the spell that stands between them and true love.
Are Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2?
Yes, Bullock and Kidman will be returning to reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens in Practical Magic 2.
Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are also making a return for the sequel, portraying the franchise's eccentric aunts.

However, many of the original cast members were reportedly not asked to return for the fantasy sequel, such as Aidan Quinn and Evan Rachel Wood.
Wood told Entertainment Tonight in an interview, “I read the book, and it seems like they’re not following the book. I think, in the book, it would have made sense to bring me back."
The actress went on to wish new members of the cast well, including Joey King, who has been recast in her original role.
As well as King, actors such as Lee Pace, Maisie Williams and Xolo Maridueña will be joining as new additions to the Practical Magic 2 cast.
