“Practical Magic” is not only one of the most popular fantasy and romance classics of the 90s, but it has also won the hearts of fans of the genre, thanks to the performances of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.
The story, which is based on the novel written by Alice Hoffman, follows two witch sisters, raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, who face prejudice and a curse that threatens to prevent them from finding true love.
In June 2024, it was confirmed that both stars will return to their respective roles as the Owens sisters to make a sequel, 25 years after its debut in theaters, with Akiva Goldsman once again as the screenwriter.
