Practical Magic 2 introduces the next generation of cursed witches
We’ve all heard the stories of the Owens sisters, but it’s been 28 years since we’ve seen them on the big screen. Practical Magic 2 brings back (most of) the original cast, deepens the lore of magic, and introduces the audience to new characters to both love and hate.

Based on a satirical essay by Ian Frazier in the New Yorker with a screenplay by Samy Burch (May December), the film opens in an ominous factory where a troubled scientist with a strong resemblance to Peter Lorre attempts an act of whistleblowing before being chased and imprisoned in a classic cartoon hole. Back in the modern-day desert outside of beautiful Albuquerque New Mexico, we find Wile E. Coyote well into his seventh decade of fruitless pursuit of the Road Runner.
