Sandra BullockandNicole Kidmanare getting excited about the much-anticipatedPractical Magicsequel — and revealing new details about the film's plot.
Bullock, 61, and Kidman, 58, referenced Kidman's iconic AMC Theaters ad while introducing a new teaser for the upcoming film at CinemaCon on Tuesday, April 14. “Why do we come here, Nicole?” Bullock asked, to which Kidman replied "We come to this place for magic."
“The witches are back!” Kidman said to applause, as Bullock joked, “Step on my line, that’s okay.”
“I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family,” Bullock's character, the responsible older sister Sally Owens, says in the teaser. “The ones from Massachusetts. The ones their neighbors whisper are witches.”
The sequel will see Sally's daughters into young adulthood as they navigate their own magical legacies, while Sally's sister Gillian Owens (Kidman) has traded her life of adventure and occasional danger for quieter life with a black cat by her side. Things are shaken up when a mysterious figure (Lee Pace) arrives in the sisters' quaint New England town with a new quest for them.
Kidman explained that the original house was rebuilt, and that “we also have our past catching up with us and we have our destinies and we have our family."
“Sally is single, and if you know the original film, you can probably guess why,” Bullock said, referencing the cursed love motif ofPractical Magic.
Following the CinemaCon appearance, Bullock joinedInstagramto post a brief behind-the-scenes video from the set ofPractical Magic 2, in which she wears a pink bell sleeved dress while pointing to a margarita pitcher, in reference to the first film's memorable "midnight margaritas" sequence, often recreated by loyal fans.

Channing, 82, will once again play Frances "Franny" Owens, the more no-nonsense of the pair, while Wiest, 78, returns as the whimsical Bridget "Jet" Owens.
In a 2025 statement, the filmmaking team behindPractical Magic 2— which includes directorSusanne Bier,taking over forGriffin Dunne— said, “Twenty-five years ago, Sally, Gillian, Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny flew off the pages ofAlice Hoffman’s beloved novel and into theaters around the world, and we are thrilled to bring the Owens family back to the big screen with Joey, Lee, Maisie, Solly and Xolo joining the next chapter in our story."
Practical Magic,based on Hoffman's 1995 novel of the same name, stars Kidman and Bullock as the Owens sisters, a pair of witches descended from a fictional survivor of the Salem Witch Trials who are fighting off a curse that kills the men they fall in love with, while learning to accept the most magical parts of themselves and chart their own paths.
