How do film sequels get made?

Practical Magic 2 is happening almost 30 years after the original, thanks to fan support. Sequels are often greenlit when an original film has a strong following or cultural impact, indicating potential box office success. Studios assess audience demand, script quality, and the availability of original cast and crew to decide if a follow-up is viable.
