Rupert Gregson-Williams (Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Hacksaw Ridge, Smallfoot, Over the Hedge, The Legend of Tarzan, Hotel Rwanda, The Crown) has been tapped to score the upcoming romantic fantasy sequel Practical Magic 2. The film is directed by Susanne Bier (Bird Box, In a Better World) and stars Sandra Bullock, Nichole Kidman, Stockard Channing & Diane Wiest who reprise their roles from the 1998 original movie (scored by Alan Silvestri). They are joined by new cast members Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña, Maisie Williams, Solly McLeod and Joey Kin. The sequel follows the Owens sisters as they must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all. Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code) who wrote the original movie co-wrote the screenplay with Georgia Pritchett (Succession, The Shrink Next Door) based on the novel The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman. Bullock & Kidman are also producing the project with Denise Di Novi (Little Women, Crazy, Stupid, Love.). Gregson-Williams has previously collaborated with Bier on the Netflix series The Perfect Couple. Practical Magic 2 is set to be released on September 11, 2026 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Gregson-Williams also continues to co-score HBO’s The Gilded Age, which will return for its fourth season this fall.
