Practical Magic 2 promotional tour

Overview

In late July 2026, actress Joey King marked her 27th birthday on Instagram, using the post to thank fans and highlight the upcoming sequel Practical Magic 2. The birthday update coincided with the start of a joint press tour with co‑star Maisie Williams, featuring appearances in Los Angeles and New York to drum up interest for the film.

Later the same day, King and Williams spoke about the “massive responsibility” they feel in continuing the 1998 story, noting support from Sandra Bullock and mentor Nicole Kidman. They described a group chat that keeps the four principal actors connected during filming and confirmed the sequel’s release date of 11 September 2026. It was also noted that original cast member Evan Rachel Wood expressed sadness at not returning for the sequel.

As the campaign progressed, King attended the film’s London premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on 26 August 2026. For the event, she wore a custom, sheer pale-yellow Miu Miu gown featuring floral appliqués, a look described as aligning with the ‘naked dress’ red carpet trend. The ensemble, styled by Jared Eng, included puff sleeves and a matching lingerie set with a visible brand logo. Her hair, styled by Dimitris Giannetos, featured textured, curly bangs and long auburn waves described as ‘Wicked Bangs’ to evoke a magical aesthetic. The premiere also featured co-stars Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, and Maisie Williams, who wore styles including Chanel sequins and Givenchy leopard print. King and Williams, who play sisters in the film, noted that their close bond developed during the four-month production period.
