It’s been 28 years since we last saw the Owens sisters, and that’s 28 years too long.

But America’s long witch sister drought is now over, as Practical Magic 2, the long-awaited sequel to the cult film from 1998, is back in theaters.

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reprise their roles as Gilly and Sally Owens, two siblings with a talent for casting spells — and getting into all sorts of trouble.

Since the high-profile sequel is sparking an interest in the original, Watch With Us has thrown together a handy guide to where you can stream Practical Magic, Practical Magic 2 and whether the first film is worth watching after all these years.

Where Is ‘Practical Magic’ Streaming?

Practical Magic is available to stream on HBO. It’s also technically available on Hulu and Prime Video, but only with an HBO Max bundle. You can also rent or purchase Practical Magic on digital platforms, like YouTube and Prime Video.

What Is ‘Practical Magic’ About?

Sally and Gilly are two sisters blessed and cursed with being generational witches. After losing her husband to a curse that kills any man who falls in love with an Owens woman, Sally refrains from using magic, while the more free-spirited Gilly uses it recklessly. When she gets involved with dangerous criminal Jimmy (Goran Visnjic), Gilly asks her sister to help her get rid of him. Things get complicated when a private investigator, Gary (Aidan Quinn), comes looking for Jimmy and bonds with Sally, who can’t fight her growing romantic interest despite her fear of the curse.

Who Stars in ‘Practical Magic’?

Sandra Bullock as Sally Owens
Nicole Kidman as Gillian “Gilly” Owens
Stockard Channing as Frances Owens, Sally and Gillian’s aunt
Dianne Wiest as Bridget “Jet” Owens, Sally and Gillian’s aunt
Goran Visnjic as James “Jimmy” Angelov, Gillian’s lover
Chloe Webb as Carla, Sally’s good friend
Aidan Quinn as Investigator Gary Hallet
Evan Rachel Wood as Kylie Owens, Sally’s elder daughter
Alexandra Artrip as Antonia Owens, Sally’s younger daughter
Margo Martindale as Linda Bennett, another friend of Sally’s
Lucinda Jenney as Sara, one of the town women
Camilla Belle as young Sally Owens
Lora Anne Criswell as young Gillian Owens
Courtney Dettrich as Young Sara
Mary Gross as Debbie
Mark Feuerstein as Michael Greene, Sally’s husband
Caprice Benedetti as Maria Owens
Martha Gehman as Patty
Peter Shaw as Jack, Sally and Gillian’s father
Caralyn Kozlowski as Regina Owens, Sally and Gillian’s mother

Most of the principal cast returned for the sequel except for the actors who played Sally’s children, who were replaced by Joey King (as Kylie) and Maisie Williams (as Antonia). The original Kylie, Evan Rachel Wood, didn’t like that at all and has been public about her disappointment in not being asked to appear in the sequel.

Is ‘Practical Magic’ Still Worth Watching?

To quote a popular Jemima Kirke meme, “What the hell, sure.” The original isn’t a masterpiece; it carries a very low 30 percent Rotten Tomatoes critical rating, and it’s filled with female empowerment clichés and witchcraft stereotypes that make you want to groan. But Bullock and Kidman have a great good sister/bad sister chemistry that makes them fun to watch, and the film is stolen by Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as Sally and Gilly’s Steve Nicks-looking aunts. The film’s soundtrack is the perfect snapshot of late-90s music, with Faith Hill’s monster hit “This Kiss” prominently featured.

When Will ‘Practical Magic 2’ Be Available to Stream?

Like the first film, Practical Magic 2 is being released by Warner Bros., so expect it to be available on HBO Max.

There’s no announced streaming date for Practical Magic 2 just yet, but WB typically allows four months between releasing a movie in theaters and debuting it on their streaming platform. (Supergirl, which was released at the end of June, just dropped on HBO in the first week of September.)

Practical Magic’s spellbinding tale of the Owens sisters’ quest to break their family curse isn’t just a film for the Halloween season — although it’s a must-watch during the fall.

With that timeframe in mind, expect Practical Magic 2 to become available on HBO Max around mid-December at the earliest and January 2027 at the latest. Spooky season will be long over, but who says you can’t have some witchy fun in the winter?

Whew! After recently reconciling their differences, Lil Yachty and Karrahbooo found themselves in another tense moment. During a recent episode of the “A Safe Place” podcast, the artists went back and forth over songwriting contributions and credit for Karrahbooo’s music.

Lil Yachty & Karrahbooo Debate Who Deserves Credit For Her Music

On Thursday, Sept. 10, Karrahbooo made an appearance on Lil Yachty and Mitch’s ‘A Safe Place’ podcast. During the episode, Karrahbooo had been on for only a short time before the conversation shifted to the pair’s past fallout and disagreements over songwriting.

Karrahbooo appeared frustrated and became emotional as she attempted to explain her perspective, claiming that Yachty had only written one of her four hits. Yachty pushed back on the claim.

“It’s not fair that you try and act like you did this alone, I hate that,” Yachty said.

The two continued going back and forth over Yachty’s contributions to Karrahbooo’s music. Karrahbooo maintained that Yachty only wrote her ‘On The Radar’ freestyle, which she argued isn’t even her biggest record.

The exchange grew increasingly tense as the two continued to defend their perspectives.

Social Media Reacts

Once the clip began circulating online, social media users had plenty to say about the exchange. Some defended Karrahbooo and felt she deserved more recognition for her work, while others criticized her approach to the conversation and sided with Yachty.

Instagram user @tattsonfleek wrote, “So she mad that her career is based off of his skills and because she ahs 3 big songs that he didn’t write. She wants all the credit 😂😂😂”

Another Instagram user @jodysconcepts wrote, “This why healing is important, cause people only wanna focus on your anger as opposed to the fact that she’s obviously being manipulated because one person calmer 😂narcissist can be calm 😂”

While Instagram user @talktomenyce_ wrote, “Bruh I woulda left the convo soon as them octaves get high. Iight ima dip. You take some time to settle down & we can revisit this. I can’t with that high pitch a** tone bro 🤦🏽‍♂️✌🏾”

Instagram user @the1nonly_ivy_ wrote, “I feel lil yachty is weird… if hes supposed to be a ghost writer then he’s supposed to be ghost 😂😂😂 but he wanna have a ego and be weird and then she’s telling him exactly what she said and he keep deflecting idk”

Another Instagram user @jaydaluvsjayda wrote, “She tripping. People thinking your song sounds so good that yachty had to write it… is a compliment. Take your wins where you can babe.”

While Instagram user @det.vante wrote, “She just gotta stop yelling but he definitely tryna take credit for the work she did 😂😂😂”

Instagram user @theboythattats wrote, “I don’t think she overreacting, he trying to manipulate her and take credit for her HITS, y’all know how this music stuff go especially when you don’t write your own raps”

We’ve got our eyes on knit sets that feature a sweater-like feel and look a little more elevated than usual.

The matching sets below look just like the trendy styles all the cool girls are wearing this season. These relaxed, laid-back picks feel like pajamas but look much more put together, so they’re basically the definition of effortlessly chic.

Trust Us, you’ll want to wear one on the first chilly day!

13 Knitted Matching Sets for Fall 2026

1. Our Favorite: This two-piece lounge set features a drapey off-shoulder top and wide-leg pants for a relaxed, easy-going fit. This is soft and just a little stretchy, and while it easily works for hanging at home, you can also wear it out and about.

2. Runner-Up: This cardigan set mixes two of fall’s biggest trends: lightweight button-up sweaters and knit pants. Predictably, the result is perfect. You can wear this together with the top buttoned up, or leave it open for a slightly different vibe.

3. Rich Mom ‘Fit: Elegant and sophisticated, this sweater set is one you’ll wear constantly. The pleated pants and cap-sleeve top give it a more elevated look; this could even pass for an office-friendly outfit with the right shoes.

4. Versatile Pick: We love this two-piece sweater set because of its super soft feel; the fabric is plush but lightweight with just a little stretch. It also has a relaxed fit that makes both pieces so versatile, whether they’re worn together or separately.

5. Maximum Coziness: This button-up set is exactly the kind of outfit we can picture ourselves wearing while sipping a pumpkin spice latte and looking at colorful leaves. The oversized cardigan top and relaxed wide-leg jeans make this feel so chic, too.

9. Floral Details: For a feminine touch, opt for this sweater lounge set. The crewneck top features a floral detail that looks so pretty but is still subtle.

11. Elevated Feel: We love the versatility of this two-piece set, mostly because the pieces don’t match exactly. The striped crewneck top could easily be worn on its own with jeans, but it looks just as good with the matching sweats.

12. So Chic: Striped edging makes this sweater set stand out from others. It’s made of a soft, lightweight material that feels so nice on, and the slightly oversized knit top looks so stylish without even trying hard.

13. Striped Set: Keep this striped set on hand for days when you’re pumpkin picking, traveling or running errands. The detail makes it feel a little more styled on its own, but it’s still soft and cozy enough to wear when relaxing.

Whew, Roommates! It doesn’t look like the clap backs between Papoose and Remy Ma are slowing down anytime soon. After Remy teased her ‘Why I Get Married’ track, Pap came through with some bars of his own on a new song called ‘Jezebel.’ Y’all already know the internet doesn’t hold back! Fans kept it a stack about Pap’s track, with some saying he picked up the WRONG pen for this one. Meanwhile, others think the lyrics are giving he might want that old thang back!

Papoose Addresses His Split With Remy Ma On ‘Jezebel’ Track

If you’ve been out of the loop, Papoose recently came through with his ‘Jezebel’ record, where he gets real about his split from Remy Ma. Pap looks back on holding Remy down while she served six years behind bars from 2008 to 2014. He even claims he’s still being solid by giving her money to this day.

“Jezebel, how could you say I haven’t fed you well?
When you was locked up I brought you food, sent you mail
Jezebel, ask the bond man who sent your bail
To this day, I give you money; did you get the Zelle?”

But chile, that’s all! Pap seemingly threw a lil’ jab at Eazy The Block Captain, whom Remy reportedly dated during her split from Papoose. Pap also accused Remy of lying and claiming that he cheated during their marriage. However, he tells a completely different story, alleging that Remy was actually the one who did him dirty.

“You cheated with a fake Papoose
I never spoke to the public even though it was true
Just kept raisin’ my daughter like a father should do
She cried callin’ your phone; we couldn’t get through
I finally got tired; year number two
Now you make up a lie and said I cheated on you?
How bizarre is this? I always treated you marvelous”

The Internet Heard Pap’s Bars & Said “HOLD UP!”

Once The Shade Room dropped a snippet of Papoose’s track, the comment section went OFF! Some Roomies said the ‘Jezebel’ record sounded more like a love song than a clap back. Meanwhile, others called for Claressa Shields to enter the chat, because they think Pap might still have some feelings for Rem.

Her Turn! Remy Ma Teases ‘Why I Get Married’ Amid Divorce From Pap

Pap isn’t the only one putting his feelings into his bars. Remy Ma also teased a track of her own following their divorce court hearing. Rem first confirmed that she and her estranged husband had a court date when she dropped a selfie video on Instagram, on Thursday, September 10, captioning it, “Sidebar: Only thing that can play in my face is this sun  RemFunFact: Court TOMORROW 9:30 am Ayo Pap prove ya luv✍pleaseeeeee.” 

Although Rem didn’t spill any tea about what went down during the hearing, she quickly switched gears and teased her upcoming track, ‘Why I Get Married.’ The Bronx rapper teamed up with Keke Wyatt for the record and revealed that fans will also get an exclusive watch party along with some special fan moments. Rem confirmed that she will drop the record on September 25.

The expectations saddled on a movie musical are difficult to meet. There has to be spectacle, impeccable performances, and amazing music to carry the story until the credits roll. This typically requires massive sets and intricate costumes, all backed by a budget that could also fund an expedition to the moon. These are not easy endeavors, so to see a movie as original and distinct as Stuffed manage to tell a uniquely macabre musical love story so effectively is an achievement.

With bold orchestral arrangements, a gothic visual aesthetic, and amazing performances from leads Jodie Comer and Harry Melling, Stuffed stands out as a triumphant musical experience. It establishes a brutal and unforgiving world with its opening shot and never lets up, all while showcasing the beauty and safety that exists in both love and death. So it’s all the more impressive that this is not an adaptation of an established stage production, but a completely original story from director Theo Rhys and co-writer Joss Holden-Rea, .

What Is Stuffed About?

Agile Films

The tragedy begins with a corpse or two; animals, dead or close to it, being dragged from the side of the road by the reclusive taxidermist Araminta (Comer). You can tell from the care that she gives to the deceased creatures that she truly does care for them, in her own way, and that she longs to take care of them for eternity. But Araminta doesn’t just want to care for animals—she longs to stuff a human specimen that she can preserve. She just hasn’t found the right candidate yet.

Next, we meet Bernie (Melling), a hapless nobody toiling away making sandwiches in a factory. It’s here we get a clearer sense of the depressing world of the film, mundane and bleak with grey skies and foggy fields. Bernie is having trouble finding purpose here, and is constantly reminded that the odds are stacked against him. He only wants to be remembered; but with a mother battling dementia who can’t even recall his name, he’s faced with the fact that he’ll never have a meaningful legacy.

This drives Bernie into the arms of Araminta, who slowly cajoles him into giving up his life so that she can ultimately fulfill her own ambitions—he decides to allow himself to be taxidermized so that he, too, may live forever as the first human being to be preserved, stuffed and “immortal.”

From this point, Araminta and Bernie grow closer and learn to understand each other in ways they’ve never been able to with anyone else. This complicates their plans, of course, but not before they force each other to grow and face their own trauma and fears in unexpected ways. It’s not the most original love story, but it’s effective because of its musical backbone, which serves to push the movie even when it starts to drag.

Stuffed ‘s Musical Numbers Steal the Show

Agile Films

There’s a moment when you first start watching a movie, a good movie, where something happens early in the runtime and it hits like a punch to the gut. An intricately blocked sequence, a beautifully framed establishing shot, or an editing technique indicating the pace and tone of the journey set to take place. In Stuffed, that moment occurs early on, when the orchestral score swells with sinister, foreboding strings.

The music and score are much more traditional in a musical sense, leaning more towards Les Miserables than the more contemporary Broadway and West End shows that define the medium’s oeuvre nowadays. Cello and violin arrangements are as effective in building the tension as they are at easing it. And the vocal performances from Comer and Melling match the instrumentation, allowing both performers to rise and fall with the music in climactic and dramatic ways. Both are impressive and provide enough variety to carry what is essentially a two-hander musical, even though the opening scene makes use of a wide cast of singers.

And it would not be a musical without set pieces. For the most part, Stuffed is subdued and shot like Tim Burton was working on an indie budget. The aesthetic is gothic but not surreal; it’s definitely of a certain late-’80s-to-early-’90s time period. It is filmed intimately, so don’t expect to see grandiose dance numbers with backup dancers filling the space just for the sake of a musical number.

But the big acts in the film are earned by the story, such as when Bernie makes a show about quitting his job in a feint to convince his coworkers that he’s probably suicidal (an effort to lay the groundwork for his eventual disappearance, so that he can be, you know, stuffed). It doesn’t go over, because Bernie isn’t memorable, so he finds newfound confidence in his relationship with Araminta and tries again—this time, there’s a lot more pomp and circumstance, and a dash of class warfare.

The film’s best musical sequence occurs when the pair fake Bernie’s death with a suicide note, some extracted teeth, and an exploding car. The joy of Bernie letting go of his past life, of giving in to Araminta’s needs, and the two finding strength in each other whilst the vehicle erupts into flames behind them, gives way to an unexpected connection, setting up the epic number “Nothing’s Changed.” This is the greatest moment of the movie, and the most quintessential musical number of the show. If it were on stage, it would be perfectly timed to lead into the intermission; here, it sets up a final act that escalates until the credits roll.

Jodie Comer and Harry Melling Will Break Your Heart

Stuffed is most effective when it is simplest. It uses identifiable tropes from modern filmmaking, such as the use of blue and gold lighting and color grading to portray the dichotomy of life and death, realism and romanticism, practicality and optimism. Many scenes are filmed in dark houses or brutalist factories, creating a world where it’s difficult just to go on living.

It evokes a sense of safety in death, which Araminta promises to Bernie at every step of their journey. The rural setting provides vast and foggy fields that add to the film’s gloom, while the interior locations all have a rustic charm, even if they’re slightly evocative of a Tim Burton production. The amount of detail and care packed into Stuffed, with the budget that it has, is impressive in nearly every frame.

But while the production is inspiring, and the music and performances are great, the film’s script tends to overstay its welcome. There are moments where it lulls with minor musical interludes to carry some of the weight. The entire stretch where Araminta coaxes Bernie into her plans is a little flat, though we do get some great flashes of the characters’ idiosyncrasies in these scenes, including a funny bit with a jar of toenails.

These lulls cease as the characters’ romance grows, and their charm begins to take over the screen. By the time we get to the final act, everything has escalated to a degree that you can only expect in a movie like this. And when the conclusion finally hits, its impact has an emotional weight comparable to some of the best stage shows you can find in a theater. It’s tragic, poetic, and hauntingly beautiful, all at once. There are some concessions in the plot and some logical fallacies, but fans of musicals are likely to oblige them, as it’s no different from many other popular shows. Stuffed creates its own world and lives in it, confidently and comfortably.

The ultimate triumph of Stuffed, as a wholly original musical film with a twisted plot, is how cohesively all the elements come together. Built off the backbone of an epic soundtrack, two powerhouse performances, and the vision of Rhys and Holden-Rea, the movie manages to capture the dread of loneliness and insignificance, and effectively replaces it with acceptance and belonging. We might not ever get another musical like Stuffed, so cherish this one because it’s actually here.

Pros & Cons

• Original, orchestral music that drives the film.

• A unique design and aesthetic effectively builds the film’s world.

The investigation into Tasia Fortune’s death has taken a major turn, with authorities now revealing a significant development in the case. The latest update comes weeks after the circumstances surrounding the 29-year-old’s death left her loved ones and the Jackson community searching for answers.

Man Arrested After Fortune’s Death Ruled Homicide

Police in Jackson, Mississippi, have arrested a man in connection with Fortune’s case. The arrest comes apparently hours after the state medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. Fortune, a Black woman, was found hanging from a tree outside an abandoned house last month.

Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney announced the arrest during a Friday news conference. She said the suspect was taken into custody while walking along a city street. Brackney also said more arrest warrants are expected to be served as the investigation continues.

Authorities Continue Investigating Fortune’s Death

Fortune was found dead outside the abandoned property as authorities worked to determine the circumstances surrounding her death. Moreover, the medical examiner’s homicide ruling marks a significant development in the case. Investigators continue gathering information to determine what led to Fortune’s death. Furthermore, authorities have not publicly released additional details about the suspect’s alleged involvement in Fortune’s death.

Questions Grew As Her Loved Ones Sought Answers

As news of Tasia Fortune’s death spread, questions surrounding the circumstances of her death quickly emerged, including from her own family. Her mother, Christy Spivey, told ABC News that she does not believe her daughter harmed herself. “She did not do this to herself,” Spivey said. “I know my daughter, and she did not do this to herself.”

At the time, the State Medical Examiner’s Office had conducted an autopsy, but an official cause of death had not yet been released to investigators. The circumstances drew additional concern from members of the community, particularly because Fortune, a Black woman, was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi, a state with a deeply documented history of racial violence. While those questions fueled speculation, the Jackson Police Department urged the public not to draw conclusions before investigators had the facts, warning that unverified information could cause additional pain for Fortune’s loved ones and interfere with the investigation.

Director Guy Ritchie‘s spotty box-office record appears to have spilled over into streaming, an arena where he had been performing impeccably thus far. Ritchie’s most recent theatrical movies haven’t exactly set the box office on fire, but he was balancing things out with a trio of successful streaming shows. All three were renewed for a second season, and two of them have already secured Season 3 renewals as well. The first out of the gate to return was The Gentlemen, a spin-off of Ritchie’s 2019 sleeper-hit dark comedy crime film of the same name. However, the series hasn’t been performing as well as Netflix would’ve liked so far.

The Gentlemen premiered with an eight-episode first season in 2024, but it took two years for the show to return. A recent report found that shows that take longer gaps between seasons tend to lose more viewers, and this is exactly what happened with The Gentlemen. Upon its return on September 3, the show registered a 45% drop in viewership in its first few days, despite more positive reviews. The series’ first season holds a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes, while Season 2 is currently sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 83% score on the aggregator website. This week, Ritchie will return with the second season of his Paramount+ crime drama series MobLand, which, fortunately, didn’t have as long an off-season.

Here’s How ‘The Gentlemen’ Has Performed on Netflix Upon Its Return

The show scored more than 12 million views in its first three days of release back in 2024, Netflix revealed in its weekly viewership report. According to the streamer, the second season drew only 6.7 million views in the same time frame, finishing third on the top 10 list. Starring Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings, and Giancarlo Esposito, the series follows two sibling scions of a crime family, as they attempt to hold the fort despite dueling personalities and incoming threats. According to FlixPatrol, The Gentlemen has been unable to claim the Netflix crown domestically a week into its return. That said, it’s number-one on Netflix’s global chart. It will now face competition from the latest season of Fauda, not to mention holdover hits such as Mousetrap and Outer Banks. Meanwhile, Ritchie’s latest movie, In the Grey, continues to redeem itself on Prime Video following a poor theatrical run. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Black had its moment for fall, but there’s a new ‘It’ color in town, and all the fashion girls are taking it in stride. Chocolate brown makes any outfit appear ten times richer, which is probably why it’s already a fall fashion staple in wealthy women’s wardrobes. The rest of Us are finally catching on.

We found 13 luxe-looking pieces that nail the trend, making you appear old money-rich from the grocery store to the wedding venue. Whether you’re searching for a chic blouse, dreamy dress, sleek shoes or anything in between, you’ll find the trendy autumnal piece below. The best part? Our favorites start at only $6!

13 Rich-Lady Chocolate Brown Pieces — From $6

1. Sleek Slingbacks: In 2026, slingback flats are the incredibly stylish pair fashion people are wearing, especially in this warm brown hue. The shoes could totally pass for real leather . . . yet costs only $33.

2. Silky Satin: This lantern-sleeve button-up is already classy, but the satin fabric gives it an shiny, high-end appeal.

3. Everyday Knit: Whether you’re running errands or a boardroom meeting, you’ll be happy to have this classy knit cardigan that’s cozy but not hot.

4. Luxe Loafers: Plain loafers get the job done, however, these glossy penny loafers make you appear millionaire-rich. The intricate stitching is just a bonus.

5. Workwear Upgrade: These flowy wide-leg trousers have a secretly stretchy waistband, and it’s why you’ll wear them for work days and weekends alike.
