How many years after the first film is Practical Magic 2 set?

Practical Magic 2 is set 25 years after the events of the first film.

The time jump allows the sequel to follow a new generation of the Owens family while bringing back the original sisters and aunts. Sally and Gillian remain central, but Sally’s daughters Kylie and Antonia are now important characters in the family story.

The plot begins a new crisis when Kylie uncovers hidden family secrets and develops dark abilities. The family must confront the origins of its magic and a curse that has haunted the lineage for centuries.

The 25-year interval is a fictional story setting, not the time between the films’ real-world releases. The original Practical Magic was released in 1998, while the sequel is scheduled for 2026. That real-world gap is longer than 25 years, so the two numbers should not be confused.
