Warner Bros. Studios unveiled the trailer for one of the year’s most anticipated films – “Practical Magic 2,” which will serve as a sequel to the iconic 1998 movie. Hollywood stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are returning to their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens, sisters from a family of witches.
The film’s events unfold thirty years after the conclusion of the first installment. We reconnect with Sally and Gillian, who must confront a dark curse threatening to permanently destroy their lineage. This time, the determined witches strive to break an ancient familial curse whereby all men whom women of their bloodline fall in love with perish.

It is symbolic that the stars from the film almost thirty years ago are returning to their roles: alongside Bullock and Kidman, actresses Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, who portrayed their aunts – Bridget and Frances. Among the new actresses are Joey King (“The Kissing Booth”) and Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”), who play Sally’s daughters.
“There is no magic stronger than sisterhood,” says Stockard Channing’s character, Franny Owens, at the beginning of the trailer. The video opens with a shot of her witch nieces holding hands and looking tenderly at each other. “Tested by fate, tested by time, and never broken.”
The film is directed by Susanne Bier, known for the thrillers “Serena” and “Bird Box,” which starred Sandra Bullock. Along with Nicole Kidman, Bullock is a producer of “Practical Magic 2.” The film is set to be released in theaters on September 11.
