Warner Bros. has officially announced that the film\u2019s international release began on 9 September, whilst in North America it began on 10 September.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2679\" data-end=\"2762\">In other words, the film is currently <strong data-start=\"2698\" data-end=\"2761\">It\u2019s not available on Netflix, Disney+ or HBO Max<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2764\" data-end=\"3064\">Warner Bros. has not yet announced an official date for the digital release. Decider predicts that a paid digital release could take place around October, with the series becoming available on HBO Max in late November or early December. This is merely a prediction, not a schedule confirmed by the studio.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3066\" data-end=\"3241\">The original 1998 US version of *Practical Magic* is now available to watch on <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/show-biz\/miss-you-love-you-alison-janney-hbo\/\">HBO<\/a> Max, as well as rent or buy on a range of digital platforms.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1s3cuwf\" data-start=\"3243\" data-end=\"3290\">Is it worth watching the first *Charmed*?\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3292\" data-end=\"3459\">Technically, it is possible to follow the main storyline without having seen the first film, but a significant part of the sequel revolves around the Owens family, their rules and their ancient curse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3461\" data-end=\"3643\">The original film told the story of Sally and Gillian \u2014 two sisters from a family of witches, upon whom a curse weighs heavily: the men they truly love are doomed to die.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3645\" data-end=\"3741\">It is this very storyline that resurfaces in the second part and has a direct impact on Sally\u2019s daughters.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"f63edx\" data-start=\"3743\" data-end=\"3789\">Why was the sequel made almost 30 years later?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3791\" data-end=\"4050\">The first *Practical Magic* was released in 1998 and wasn\u2019t initially a big hit with the critics. However, over time, the film achieved cult status, particularly amongst viewers who enjoyed its blend of romance, magic, dark humour and a story about sisterly bonds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4052\" data-end=\"4311\">Sandra Bullock explained that, following the first film, the team even faced criticism due to the large number of female characters. A decade on, the audience\u2019s attitude has changed, and the film itself has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4313\" data-end=\"4540\">Bullock and Kidman explained that they were inspired to return to this story by the opportunity to portray a new generation of Owens women and to explore themes of family legacy, loss and the repetition of family patterns.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"pcrrpd\" data-start=\"4542\" data-end=\"4581\">How does *Practical Magic 2* end?\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4583\" data-end=\"4632\"><strong data-start=\"4583\" data-end=\"4632\">Warning: major spoilers for the film\u2019s ending follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4634\" data-end=\"4758\">Once Kylie starts using magic, a family curse befalls her lover <strong data-start=\"4722\" data-end=\"4733\">Gideon's<\/strong>, who ends up in a coma.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4760\" data-end=\"4968\">In an attempt to save him, Kylie sets off for England with a dangerous magic book. She is followed by Sally, Gillian and Ian Wright \u2014 a historian and expert in magic, played by Lee Pace.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4970\" data-end=\"5119\">In England, the women learn more about their family\u2019s origins and encounter Tom \u2014 a descendant of a man linked to the Owens\u2019 past, who is seeking revenge.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5121\" data-end=\"5174\">In the final part, the family joins forces against him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5176\" data-end=\"5436\">The key point is <strong data-start=\"5199\" data-end=\"5217\">Francis the victim<\/strong>, which ultimately makes it possible to break the Owens curse. In this way, the new generation is given the chance to love without the fatal consequences that have haunted the women of the family for generations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"qr8hgx\" data-start=\"5438\" data-end=\"5457\">What does the final mean?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5459\" data-end=\"5596\">The finale effectively brings to a close one of the main storylines of the entire franchise \u2014 the curse that caused the Owens women to lose the men they loved.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5598\" data-end=\"5711\">At the end <strong data-start=\"5609\" data-end=\"5633\">Kylie is getting married<\/strong>, and magic ceases to be the very thing from which Sally is trying to protect her daughters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5713\" data-end=\"5898\">The final scene also references the original film: the younger generation finally embraces their place within the Owens family and its magical legacy.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"yjad6x\" data-start=\"5900\" data-end=\"5930\">Will there be a \u00abCharmed 3\u00bb?\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5932\" data-end=\"6016\">At the time of the release of the second film, Warner Bros. <strong data-start=\"5977\" data-end=\"6015\">did not announce \u00abPractical Magic 3\u00bb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6018\" data-end=\"6180\">The finale of the second series also leaves the door open for the story of the new generation of Owens to continue, even though the main storyline involving the family curse has come to an end.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6182\" data-end=\"6289\">The future of the franchise will most likely depend on box-office takings and audience interest in a sequel.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"wdgc56\" data-start=\"6291\" data-end=\"6335\">When will *Charmed 2* be available online?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"6337\" data-end=\"6360\">There is no exact date as yet.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6362\" data-end=\"6564\">As the film is being released by Warner Bros., the most likely future streaming service is <strong data-start=\"6453\" data-end=\"6464\">HBO Max<\/strong>, although the studio has not yet announced a release date on the platform.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6566\" data-end=\"6740\">Therefore, users searching for \u00abPractical Magic 2 online\u00bb or \u00abwhere to watch Practical Magic 2\u00bb should now bear in mind that: <strong data-start=\"6686\" data-end=\"6739\">The film is available legally, first and foremost, in
