The Craft 2: Circle of Ashes (2026) resurrects the occult spirit of the 1996 classic with a savage, hypnotic intensity as the original witches return to confront a new generation caught in a storm of forbidden magic and ancient vengeance, weaving a tale where sisterhood becomes both salvation and damnation. Robin Tunney’s Sarah Bailey, now a powerful yet battle-scarred matriarch of the craft, has spent decades burying the monstrous legacy of her youth—only to be dragged back into the abyss when a modern coven’s reckless ritual awakens a primordial force bound to her bloodline.
Fairuza Balk’s haunting legacy performance as Nancy Downs manifests through flickering visions, spectral whispers, and psychic fractures, her madness fused with an eldritch presence too persistent—and too hungry—to stay forgotten. Neve Campbell’s Bonnie, hardened by her lifelong war with the darkness inside her, returns with scars that glow like runes, while Rachel True’s Rochelle radiates seasoned power and grounded wisdom, standing firm against the rising chaos threatening to tear their worlds apart. But the new coven is a wildfire: Jenna Ortega ignites the screen as Lila, a wounded, volatile newcomer whose raw, instinctual magic threatens to crack the balance Sarah has guarded for decades, while Zendaya’s Amara burns with righteous fury, her brilliance and thirst for justice pulling her dangerously close to the edge of corruption.
When the girls summon a forbidden invocation older than Manon—an elemental deity forged from ash, hunger, and wrath—the ancient entity binds itself to their souls, infecting their dreams, twisting their shadows, and merging their powers into something apocalyptic. As blood-moon storms rip open the sky, mirrors drip with living darkness, and hallways contort into labyrinths of sentient nightmares, the covens—old and new—must unite to reclaim their magic before it devours them from within. Their journey erupts into psychic duels, levitation battles beneath lightning-torn clouds, astral chases across burning spirit planes, and a final showdown inside a ritual chamber carved from volcanic glass where the elemental force demands a sacrifice.
The Craft 2: Circle of Ashes crackles with seductive witchfire, fierce feminine rage, and supernatural terror, delivering a visceral reminder that in the world of the craft, magic always has a price—and this time, it demands everything.
