When Does Practical Magic 2 Come Out? Release Date
Practical Magic 2 will be released exclusively in theaters on September 18, 2026. Over the past two decades, Sandra and Nicole have opened up about working together on the first film. During a previous interview with Today, Sandra recalled having “such a great time” with Nicole on set.
“And the fact is, we don’t have anything in common, except for at the dinner table with a bottle of wine and everything sort of blends together,” the Oscar winner quipped, before recounting filming their iconic margaritas scene. “We weren’t drunk when we shot these parts or when we did our close-ups. But we had to reshoot a scene where it was far away and we were on our backs, and Nicole just put the bottle on the table and said, ‘You know what? There’s no reason we shouldn’t be drunk here.’ And I said, ‘You know what? That’s true.”

“Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that’s that,” Nicole acknowledged. “There’s a lot more to tell which is why we go, ‘OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this.’”
