What is the plot of Practical Magic 2?

Because the reboot has only just been announced, it’s no surprise that plot details have yet to be confirmed.

As a reminder, the original film begins in the 1600s: Maria Owens has been sentenced to hang as a witch, but manages to liberate herself from her noose and escapes. Heavily-pregnant, though, and betrayed by her lover, Maria unleashes a curse upon herself and her family: any man they truly fall in love with will be doomed to die an untimely death. Understandably, this causes major issues for modern-day witches, Sally (Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Kidman), whose father died because of the curse and whose mother dies soon after from a broken heart. They are sent to live with their aunts, Frances and Jet, who raise them and teach them the art of witchcraft – which causes them to be alienated and ostracised by the local townsfolk.

Eventually, Gillian moves away to travel the world, and Sally does her best to find the normality she craves. But, when Gillian’s vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic), dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters are forced to give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn) grows suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov – and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line forever.
