Sandra Bullock Arrives in New York for September 'Practical Magic 2' Push

Q: After 25 years, what dark new curse is forcing the Owens sisters to reunite in the highly anticipated Practical Magic sequel?

The new threat in *Practical Magic 2* is the return of the Owens family’s deadly love curse as it strikes the next generation, especially Sally Owens’ daughter Kylie. According to the trailer and film details tied to Alice Hoffman’s *The Book of Magic*, Kylie discovers that the family legend is real after her love interest is caught in a tragic accident. That revelation pulls Sally and Gillian back together, because the old curse—that any man who falls in love with an Owens woman is doomed to die—has not truly ended and is now endangering Kylie and her sister. The sequel also adds a darker twist beyond the original curse. Reports say Kylie begins uncovering hidden family secrets and developing troubling new powers of her own, sending the Owens women into a multigenerational fight against dark magic tied to the origins of their bloodline. The film’s official setup describes the sisters confronting “the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all.” So, after 25 years, the Owens sisters reunite because the family’s centuries-old curse has resurfaced through Sally’s daughter, with love, death, and newly awakened dark abilities putting the next generation in danger.
