That pair will be joined by a number of new faces in the cast, with those additions including a key role for former Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.
And speaking exclusively to Radio Times, Williams revealed that she couldn't wait for audiences to watch the film – which she said had been an extremely enjoyable one to make.
"It was so fun," she revealed. "We shot at Leavesden Studios. It was the first time I've ever done a shoot on an official lot like that, and it felt so cool. I loved working there, and I loved working on this film, which I love so much, with the most incredible cast."
She continued: "I think that the fans are going to love it, and I just can't wait to start promoting it."
Other new faces in the film include The Kissing Booth's Joey King, The Hobbit star Lee Pace, and Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña, while those returning from the first film also include Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing.
It picks up 25 years after the events of the first film – which was released in 1998 – with the official synopsis teasing that the Owens family will face a new crisis after a discovery regarding the family's history and the origins of their magic comes to light.
It continues: "When Sally's daughter Kylie (King) begins to uncover hidden family secrets and develops her own dark abilities, the family is plunged into a multi-generational struggle to finally break the curse that has haunted their lineage for centuries.
"The Owens women (Sally, Gillian, and their aunts) must once again unite, traveling from their home in Massachusetts to the United Kingdom to confront the source of their magic and save the next generation of their family."
Williams will play the role of Sally's youngest daughter Antonia in the film, which is currently slated for a release date on Friday 11 September 2026.
She can currently be seen in new drama 500 Miles, which was released in UK cinemas last week and sees her team up with young A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star Dexter Sol Ansell.
