The Owens sisters are returning in Practical Magic 2, with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock back to star in the brand new sequel from director Susanne Bier (Bird Box). Originally set for September 18, WB will now release Practical Magic 2 on September 11, 2026.
Kidman and Bullock are reprising their roles as sisters Gillian and Sally, respectively, from the 1998 film based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel. In that film, “Two witch sisters (Bullock and Kidman), raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.”
No plot details have been revealed for Practical Magic 2 as of yet, but the sequel is reportedly based on a later installment in Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic book series.
Dianne Wiest will be back as Aunt Jet, with Stockard Channing returning as Aunt Frances. Additionally, Lee Pace (Foundation), Maisie Williams (The New Look), Xolo Maridueña (Blue Beetle), and Solly McLeod (The Dead Don’t Hurt) star.
Practical Magic was released in theaters for Halloween 1998, scaring up $68.3 million against a reported $75 million production budget. The film has since gained an ardent cult following that helped usher in a sequel nearly three decades later.
Akiva Goldsman (I Am Legend, A Beautiful Mind), who co-wrote the original, is returning to pen the sequel. Bullock and Kidman are producing alongside returning producer Denise Di Novi.

DC is moving into body horror territory with upcoming comic book horror movie Clayface, which had been set for theatrical release via Warner Bros. on September 11, 2026.
Clayface will now release in theaters on October 23, 2026.
James Watkins (The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil) will direct from a script by Mike Flanagan (“The Haunting of Hill House,” Doctor Sleep) and Hossein Amini (Drive).
The project is being compared to David Cronenberg’s The Fly.
The story centers on an actor who injects himself with a substance to remain relevant, only to find out that he can reshape his face and form, becoming a walking piece of clay.
Max Minghella (Spiral: From the Book of Saw), Tom Rhys Harries (The Gentlemen) and Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) star. Rhys Harries will be playing the movie’s title character.
James Gunn’s DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran previously called Clayface “an incredible body horror film that reveals a compelling origin of a classic Batman villain.”

French shark horror movie Under Paris became a huge hit for Netflix, and The Hollywood Reporter drops the surprise announcement tonight that Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D, Crawl) will return to the aquatic horror arena to direct Under Paris 2.
Xavier Gens directed the first Under Paris, which broke records as the streamer’s first non-English language film on Netflix with more than 102.3 million views. The shark attack horror movie’s post-apocalyptic ending offered an intriguing hook for continuation.
Bérénice Bejo starred in Under Paris, and she’s expected to return for Under Paris 2.
Set in Summer 2024, Under Paris unfolds in Paris, which is hosting the World Triathlon Championships on the Seine for the first time. Sophia, a brilliant scientist, learns from Mika, a young environmental activist, that a large shark is swimming deep in the river.
To avoid a bloodbath at the heart of the city, they have no choice but to join forces with Adil, the Seine river police commander. Can they save the day before being eaten alive?
How did that work out? Wikipedia reminds, “As the end credits suggest, Lilith and her offspring have proliferated in the major river cities of the world (Paris, London, New York, Bangkok, Venice and Tokyo), and seem to have, as Sophia feared, colonized the entire world.”
Under Paris debuted on Netflix on June 5, 2024.

“The fact that I not only get to work with some of my favorite comedians and horror heroes on this movie, but also shoot it in my hometown, has been a fever dream come true, to say the least,” Savero tells Bloody Disgusting. “I couldn’t ask for a more supportive, beautifully bizarre city.”
