Practical Magic 2 Is Brewing: 7 Witch Movies and Shows on Tubi
With Practical Magic 2 on the way, here are seven witch movies and shows on Tubi that has everything from love spells and modern covens to folk horror and occult nightmares.
The Owens sisters are almost back, which means it's officially time to locate the nearest midnight margarita, light a few candles, and start treating every full moon with an appropriate amount of suspicion. Practical Magic 2 is bringing Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman back together as Sally and Gillian nearly three decades later, making now a particularly good time to revisit witch movies and shows full of magic, romance, and the occasional curse.
By a stroke of Tubi magic, there's more than one way to enter your witch era. Tubi's Witch, Please collection has the spells, covens, curses, and chaos covered, and these seven witchy movies and TV shows prove the genre can mean just about anything. Want fabulous women dealing with a deeply questionable man? Got it. A love spell gone spectacularly sideways? Absolutely. Teenage witchcraft? Coven drama? Folk-horror nightmare? Whether you're looking for movies like Practical Magic or simply building your spooky-season watchlist, choose your spell book carefully.
Midnight margaritas are optional. Witchy September is not.
The Witches of Eastwick
Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer walk into a small New England town. That's already enough of a pitch, but The Witches of Eastwick gives the trio something even better: magical powers and Jack Nicholson. The three women unknowingly summon the mysterious Daryl Van Horne after imagining their ideal man, only to discover that getting exactly what you wished for can become its own special kind of problem.
For Practical Magic fans, this is probably the most natural first stop. Female friendship sits at the center, witchcraft gets tangled up with desire, and the women gradually discover that their collective power is considerably more interesting than the man commanding everyone's attention. Cher, Sarandon, and Pfeiffer forming a coven? The spell basically casts itself.
The Love Witch
You've heard of falling in love. Elaine prefers a more hands-on approach. Anna Biller's The Love Witch follows Samantha Robinson's Elaine, a modern witch determined to find true love through potions, rituals, and a wardrobe that deserves its own movie. Her spells work. Men fall desperately in love with her. Minor issue: they fall a little too hard.
Biller wraps the whole thing in lush, retro Technicolor fantasy, making every frame look romantic even as Elaine's pursuit of the perfect relationship becomes increasingly macabre. Practical Magic fans already know love spells have a habit of getting very literal about the fine print. Elaine apparently skipped that chapter of the spell book.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Before the sitcom became a '90s staple, Sabrina the Teenage Witch introduced Melissa Joan Hart's Sabrina as a teenager discovering that navigating high school apparently wasn't enough of a challenge; she also has magical powers. Suddenly crushes, popularity, and figuring out who you are come with the added temptation of being able to magically interfere with the situation.
This is the cozy witch-movie nostalgia pick of the bunch: light, playful, and considerably less likely to make you afraid of the woods afterward. There's even a young Ryan Reynolds in the mix for an additional wait, HE'S in this? bonus.
The Witch
Okay, cozy witchcraft break is over. Robert Eggers' The Witch strands a Puritan family beside the New England wilderness and lets religious paranoia, isolation, and something deeply wrong beyond the farm slowly tear them apart. Anya Taylor-Joy's Thomasin is trapped in the middle, watching suspicion increasingly turn toward her while one goat continues behaving with frankly unacceptable levels of confidence.
There are no midnight margaritas here. No cute spell book. Nobody is fixing the situation with a sisterly intervention. Eggers makes folk-horror witchcraft feel ancient, forbidden, and genuinely dangerous, building dread until a farmyard starts looking like somewhere you should absolutely not be after dark.
Wicked City
Every friend group eventually needs a group chat. This one could probably use a grimoire. Wicked City brings witchcraft into a contemporary world, following a group of modern urban witches whose attempts to strengthen their powers uncover secrets and unleash supernatural consequences considerably bigger than expected. Friendship, ambition, magic, and drama all start sharing the same space which, as any coven will tell you, can get complicated quickly.
These women aren't isolated in some centuries-old cottage; they're navigating power together now. For anyone whose favorite part of Practical Magic is the idea that witchcraft gets considerably easier when the women around you have your back, welcome to the coven.
Witchboard
Madison Iseman's Emily discovers an old spirit board in Witchboard, and what begins as an intriguing antique quickly opens the door to curses, possession, and occult forces that were doing perfectly fine without anybody inviting them back into the conversation. Jamie Campbell Bower enters the increasingly sinister proceedings because director Chuck Russel thought the board wasn't already raising enough red flags.
Save this one for when your witchy September needs more occult-horror and “don't touch that!” energy. The occult mythology gets darker, the supernatural consequences get nastier, and the entire movie operates as a useful reminder that finding a mysterious object does not legally require you to use it.
The Unbinding
In The Unbinding, the paranormal documentary hones in on paranormal investigators Greg and Dana Newkirk after a strange statue discovered in New York's Catskill Mountains becomes connected to reports of disturbing phenomena. Instead of giving us another fictional spell gone wrong, the documentary digs into folklore, witchcraft, and the unsettling question of what happens when people believe they've brought something genuinely supernatural home with them.
After love witches, teenage witches, covens, and Black Phillip, here's the one that removes the comfortable little “but it's only a movie” safety net. Maybe the statue is cursed. Maybe it isn't. Either way, we are not bringing it home to find out.
