Susanne Bier says Practical Magic 2 is built for cinemas, not couches, arguing that laughing and crying alongside strangers is something a phone screen simply cannot replicate.

Susanne Bier reveals Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman personally pitched her Practical Magic 2 around Christmas 2024, and why the female-driven, relationship-first approach made saying yes an easy call for her.

Practical Magic 2, out September 10, recasts the Owens daughters with Joey King and Maisie Williams and sends them chasing a family curse across the UK. Early reviews say it lacks the original's magic but leaves room for a third film.

Alexandra Artrip, who played young Antonia in 1998's Practical Magic, has responded to fan anger over the sequel recasting her and Evan Rachel Wood with Maisie Williams and Joey King, urging supporters to give the new film a chance.
