Directed by Susanne Bier, Practical Magic 2 is a romantic fantasy legacy sequel that brings audiences back to the enchanting world of the Owens family. Decades after seemingly breaking their family's centuries-old curse, sisters Sally and Gillian Owens—reprised by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, respectively—discover the dark spell was never actually lifted.
Following the tragic death of Sally's second husband, a grief-stricken Sally rejects her magical heritage and wipes the memories of magic from her two daughters to protect them. Years later, her daughters Kylie (portrayed by Joey King) and the skeptical, science-minded Antonia (Maisie Williams) are grown and unaware of their witch lineage.
The family is forced to reunite after the passing of beloved Aunt Jet (Dianne Wiest), leaving her eccentric sister Aunt Frances (Stockard Channing) to help guide the next generation. The looming family curse violently reawakens when Kylie's boyfriend, Gideon (Xolo Maridueña), is struck by a car and left in a coma.
Driven by desperation to save the man she loves, Kylie unearths her family’s hidden magical past, steals a forbidden spellbook, and travels to the Owens' ancestral homeland in England to seek a cure. Sally and Gillian give chase to protect her from the dark magic she unwittingly unleashes. Along the way, they enlist the help of Ian Wright (Lee Pace), an academic historian of magic who becomes Sally's new romantic interest.
What follows is a transatlantic journey that forces the Owens women to confront dark ancestral secrets, accept their inherent power, and realize that breaking the deadly curse requires an ultimate, willing sacrifice. Blending romance, comedy, and fantasy, the film explores themes of sisterhood, inheritance, and the lengths a family will go to protect one another.
