It\u2019s very clear from this latest Practical Magic 2<\/a> trailer that the film\u2014which builds on the much-loved 1998 supernatural rom-com<\/a> starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman<\/a> as Sally and Gillian Owens, witchy sisters battling a cruel curse\u2014is going to give fans everything they want.<\/p>\n

Midnight margaritas, lighting candles by blowing on them, tea spoons that stir by themselves, cats, sun-dappled shots of that iconic white house, floral-print dresses, roof jumps, sisterly banter, and\u2026 oh yeah, that damn \u201ceveryone you fall in love with dies\u201d thing, back to haunt the next generation of witches.<\/p>\n

This latest trailer also gives us our best glimpse at the plot of Practical Magic 2; it\u2019s apparent that Sally\u2019s daughter, Kylie (Joey King), is going to fall for a guy played by Cobra Kai\u2018s Xolo Maridue\u00f1a, who\u2019s soon imperiled by the spell we thought Sally and Jillian vanquished in the first Practical Magic.<\/p>\n

Desperate to save her boyfriend, Kylie\u2014who has, apparently, somehow been sheltered from knowing about her family legacy up until this point\u2014turns to dabbling in dangerous dark magic.<\/p>\n

We also see that Lee Pace<\/a>\u2018s tattooed character is someone Sally and Gillian seek out for assistance, and good news for thirsty viewers: he will definitely spend at least a part of the movie in his birthday suit. And do we detect some sparks flying with Sally?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very clear Aidan Quinn\u2019s character from Practical Magic is no longer around, what with all the jokes about Sally being single. So, you know, the runway for speculation is all the way clear.<\/p>\n

The rest of the cast includes Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest, reprising their roles as Aunt Frances and Aunt Jet; Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) is also aboard as Sally\u2019s other daughter, Antonia. Susanne Bier directs, and the film is adapted from Alice Hoffman\u2019s Practical Magic sequel The Book of Magic.<\/p>\n

Practical Magic 2 hits theaters September 11.<\/p>\n
