Which actress returns as Aunt Jet Owens in Practical Magic 2?

Dianne Wiest returns as Aunt Jet Owens in Practical Magic 2.

Jet’s full name is Bridget “Jet” Owens. She is one of Sally and Gillian Owens’s eccentric aunts and is described as the softer of the two aunts. Wiest reprises the role from the 1998 Practical Magic film.

Stockard Channing also returns as the other aunt, Frances “Franny” Owens. Because both actresses play Owens aunts, their character names are easy to mix up: Wiest is Jet, while Channing is Franny.

The aunts remain part of the Owens women’s effort to face the family’s latest supernatural crisis. The sequel’s story involves hidden family secrets, the origins of the family’s magic, and a curse that has haunted the lineage for centuries. Their return helps preserve the connection between the original film and the new generation represented by Sally’s daughters.
