A conjuring spell is forming for Practical Magic 3

According to a rather pleasant feature in The New York Times, a conjuring spell to bring Practical Magic 3 into the world seems to be forming, though for now, this spell has yet to be cast by those who decide such matters. For the piece, Kidman, Bullock, and co-stars Joey King and Maisie Williams convened via video call to discuss the Susanne Bier-directed sequel, sharing kind compliments and generally being sweet to each other, when the discussion turned to the prospects of a sequel, for no self-respecting witching series should end on an even number; it simply isn’t done.  

When asked by Times interviewer Ashley Spencer about the potential to spin a sequel from the unreleased Practical Magic 2, the entire cast jumped at the idea. “It warrants a third,” Bullock said. Kidman agreed, noting frustration with 2‘s apparent truncation of story arcs, which will certainly wound those going into the film eager for an epic-length exploration of new co-star Lee Pace’s sideplot. “The biggest frustration was that [the sequel] couldn’t be longer,” she said. “There were so many tangents we could have gone off on.” To witch—sorry, which—Bullock concurred. “The material is there.”
