Directed by Griffin Dunne and based on a novel by Alice Hoffman, the film has become a staple for fans of the spooky season.
Akiva Goldsman will pen the screenplay for the sequel, with Bullock and Kidman expected to produce the film. Fans were delighted by the news of “Practical Magic 2,” especially after a recent TikTok announcement hinted at its release. While a spinoff series based on Hoffman’s prequel novel was previously in the works, the focus has now shifted back to the original Owens family and their magical adventures.
