The witches are back: Sandra Bullock & Nicole Kidman begin filming “Practical Magic 2”

Practical Magic 2 has officially started production, reuniting the beloved Owens family more than 25 years after the original film enchanted audiences.

In a behind-the-scenes video shared from set, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are back as witchy sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, seen hugging it out in a misty cemetery in full character.

“The witches are back,” Kidman wrote in the caption of her Instagram post, adding, “Owens sisters’ first day on set!”

As the two actresses embrace during the emotional scene, Bullock can be heard saying, “Turns out we have a lot of work to do.”

Following reports from Deadline last year that Bullock and Kidman were in talks to return, fans have been eagerly awaiting confirmation and now it si officially confirmed.

Returning to the magical world are Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, reprising their roles as the eccentric and wise Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny. The sequel also welcomes new cast members, including Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, and Joey King, who plays one of Sally’s daughters.

Susanne Bier, known for The Undoing and Bird Box will direct the sequel, working from a script by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett. Goldsman, notably, also co-wrote the original 1998 film based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel.

The film is scheduled to release on 18 September, 2026.
