There’s a rumour flying around about the return of “Practical Magic.”. The rumored cast includes Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Evan Rachel Wood, Karen Gillan, Stockard Channing, and Dianne Wiest. These talented actors are ready to weave their spells and bring life to the anticipated sequel.
Practical Magic 2: Possible Storyline
Fast forward 25 years since the original 1998 movie, and we find ourselves in the midst of turmoil. Sally’s granddaughter, now 16 years old, faces an ancient family curse that awakens. Chaos befalls the Owens family as Bullock and Gillian must confront this forgotten curse.
The six Owen women embark on a journey across the country to unearth the source – a long-forgotten Owens family coven. Their mission: preserve the future and protect their family legacy.
Should “Practical Magic 2” come to life, it’s likely to span the years between 1998 and 2028, a 30-year gap. The original film, inspired by Alice Hoffman’s “The Book of Magic,” lays the foundation for this sequel’s plot.
“The Rules of Magic,” the second installment in the series, appears to align closely with the circulating rumors about the movie’s storyline.
The Owens family has a history intertwined with love and curses spanning over 300 years. Change is on the horizon, as a new tale begins in a library. Beloved aunt Jet Owens receives a chilling omen from the deathwatch beetle – she has just seven days to live. Yet, it’s not only Jet who is in peril; the curse is already in motion.
Three generations of Owens women, along with a long-lost brother, rise to the challenge. From Paris to London, and even the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens practiced magic, they employ their unique gifts to break the curse. The younger generation unearths concealed secrets of magic and love, revealing truths kept hidden by their fiercely protective mother, Sally Owens.
“Practical Magic” Prequel’s Fate
A prequel series for HBO Max was once in the works. Set in 1960s New York, the series would have focused on the Owens family siblings. Jet, Franny, and Vincent Owen, three siblings with extraordinary abilities, would have taken center stage.
Their journey of self-discovery would reveal their lineage as descendants of a witch family. Unfortunately, this venture faced setbacks, including the COVID-19 outbreak and industry challenges.
Is the sequel a certainty? As of now, not quite, but the door remains open. Given the intricate negotiations that follow fan anticipation, the landscape could shift.
While the speculated cast members, both returning and new, might evolve, the magic of “Practical Magic 2” could still materialize. However, aiming for a 2025 release might not be ideal, as it would mark precisely 28 years since the original movie’s premiere.
The allure of magic and family legacy continues to captivate audiences, promising an intriguing journey in “Practical Magic 2: The Rules of Magic.” With potential stars like Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, the sequel holds the promise of revisiting the beloved world of enchantment.
