A Peek into the Original Story
The ‘Practical Magic’ movie, based on a novel by Alice Hoffman, revolves around two witch sisters living with their quirky Aunt Frances in a tiny town. The sisters face numerous challenges, including prejudice, and a curse making true love a deadly fantasy for them. The contrast between Sally’s quiet life and Gillian’s wild exploits added a unique twist to the story. A super supernatural adventure kicked off when the sisters accidentally ended Jimmy Angelov’s (Gillian’s violent boyfriend) life. Unfolding events led them on a race to break an old family curse.
Plot Secrets and the Magic of Authenticity
Currently, the new script is being woven together by Akiva Goldsman. Although the plot remains secret, Alice Hoffman’s novel and its prequels and sequel offer ample material for an intriguing story.
Denise Di Novi is producing the sequel with Kidman and Bullock. She shared some insights with people regarding the sequel. According to Di Novi, the production team is committed to keeping the essence of the original film intact.
What to Expect

We realize the value of the first movie, especially to women, and we want to respect that. ‘Practical Magic’ is popular for its joyful spirit, themes of sisterhood, acceptance, tolerance, and love. It highlights the magic present in daily life; love, family, and sisterhood. It’s magical, and we all have our gifts, especially women. We want to honour all that in the sequel.”
