Summary

Sandra Bullock has expressed openness to a "Practical Magic 3," contingent on the box office performance of the anticipated sequel, "Practical Magic 2." The Oscar-winning actress, who is starring in and producing the new film, shared this possibility in a recent interview.
"Practical Magic 2" is set to release on September 10th, nearly 28 years after the original. It sees Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprising their roles as the witch sisters Sally and Gillian Owens. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest also return as their magical aunts. This installment focuses on a multi-generational family of witches attempting to break a centuries-old curse of lovelessness.
Bullock noted that viewers won't need to have seen the first film to enjoy the sequel, though familiar fans will appreciate nostalgic elements. She specifically mentioned the introduction of "two more magical baby witches," played by Joey King and Maisie Williams. This casting decision for the younger characters led to some controversy, with original star Evan Rachel Wood expressing surprise at not being contacted about the recasting.
