New Confirmed Cast Members and Their Notable Roles
The new cast members are an impressive collection of stars from major franchises and critically acclaimed projects, signaling a high-stakes, generational story for the sequel.
- Joey King (Confirmed as Kylie Owens): King is confirmed to play Kylie Owens, Sally's daughter, who was a child in the 1998 movie. Her casting suggests the sequel will heavily focus on the next generation of the Owens witches. King is an Emmy-nominated actress known for her starring roles in *The Kissing Booth* film series, the Hulu limited series *The Act*, and the action-comedy *Bullet Train*.
- Lee Pace: The acclaimed actor, known for his imposing presence and versatile roles, is a major new addition to the cast. Pace's most notable roles include Thranduil the Elvenking in *The Hobbit* trilogy, Ronan the Accuser in *Guardians of the Galaxy*, and the lead role of Ned in the TV series *Pushing Daisies*. His role in *Practical Magic 2* has not yet been revealed, leading to speculation that he could be a new love interest, a magical ally, or even a formidable new antagonist.
- Maisie Williams: Williams, a British actress, joins the coven in an undisclosed role. She is globally recognized for her breakout role as Arya Stark in the HBO fantasy epic *Game of Thrones*, as well as her recent work in films like *The New Mutants*. Her addition brings a strong genre pedigree to the sequel.
- Xolo Maridueña: Maridueña, a rising star, is also confirmed for the cast. He is best known for starring as Miguel Diaz in the popular Netflix series *Cobra Kai* and for his lead role as Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle in the DC Extended Universe film *Blue Beetle*. His involvement suggests a significant, possibly action-oriented, new character.
- Solly McLeod: McLeod is a British actor whose star is quickly rising. He is known for his roles in the *Game of Thrones* prequel series *House of the Dragon* and the ITVX miniseries *Tom Jones*. His casting, alongside other young talent, reinforces the theme of generational magic in the sequel.
The New Generation of Witches: Kylie Owens and the Plot Focus
The casting of Joey King as Kylie Owens, Sally's daughter, is arguably the most significant piece of news for the *Practical Magic 2* storyline. In the original 1998 film, Sally had two young daughters, Kylie and Antonia, and the sequel is poised to explore the challenges the next generation of Owens women face in embracing their magical heritage. The original movie ended with Sally and Gillian finally breaking the curse on the Owens men, allowing them and their children to live freely. The sequel will likely pick up years later, examining how Kylie navigates her own powers and the legacy of her mother and Aunt Gillian. The addition of young, globally recognized actors like Xolo Maridueña and Maisie Williams alongside King suggests that the sequel will not just be a nostalgic reunion but a full-fledged cinematic event focused on a new, diverse coven. Fans are already speculating whether Maridueña's role might be a new love interest for Kylie, potentially testing the limits of the Owens curse in a new way, or perhaps a descendant of the original characters. The film is expected to maintain the original's blend of fantasy, romance, and comedy, but with a modern, high-production sensibility under the direction of Susanne Bier, known for her work on *The Undoing* and *Bird Box*.Production Status and The Magical Release Date
The development of *Practical Magic 2* has moved at a rapid pace, much to the delight of the passionate fanbase. The sequel was officially confirmed to be in development in 2024, with both Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman quickly signing on to reprise their roles and serve as producers. Crucially, the film’s production phase is now complete. Nicole Kidman confirmed the production wrap via social media, signaling that the film is moving into post-production. The entire project is being handled by Warner Bros., the same studio that produced the original, ensuring a consistent vision for the beloved property. The official release date is locked in for September 18, 2026. This timeline gives the production team ample time to perfect the visual effects and deliver a truly magical experience that honors the original while setting a new standard for the franchise. The anticipation for the 2026 premiere is already building, promising a major cinematic event for a generation of fans eager to revisit the Owens family home and the enchanting world of the Owens sisters.Detail Author:
