The first teaser for Practical Magic 2 is here, bringing back the Owens sisters in a new fight against fate. The film promises to explore buried secrets and the cost of breaking a spell that has marked their lineage. With a darker and more emotional tone, the story bets on family bonds and difficult sacrifices. Directed by Susanne Bier, it will arrive in the United States on September 11, 2026.
One of Us and Roma O'Connor: the visual effects of the spell 🎬
The visual effects are handled by One of Us, a studio known for its work on series like The Crown. Roma O'Connor, visual effects producer, leads a team that seeks to bring magic to life without falling into excess. The idea is for the spells to feel organic, almost like an extension of the protagonists' anguish. A moderate use of CGI is expected, prioritizing atmosphere over spectacle. Bier's direction bets on a gritty realism that fits the somber tone of the teaser.
Witches, secrets, and the drama of breaking a spell at the wrong time 🔮
Because of course, nothing says family reunion like having to undo an ancient curse while dealing with domestic chaos. The Owens sisters not only face supernatural forces but also the pressure of not burning dinner while conjuring. The teaser suggests that this time the sacrifices will be more personal, though one suspects the biggest drama will be deciding who gets to keep the spellbook. At least, the next Thanksgiving dinner promises to be interesting.
