Magic Reunited: Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock Wrap Filming Practical Magic 2!
The Owens Family Reunites: Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock Share Behind-the-Scenes Peek at Practical Magic 2
In a magical move, the dynamic duo of Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have finally wrapped up filming on the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved 1998 film, Practical Magic. The two actresses, who last starred together as witch sisters Gillian and Sally Owens in the original adaptation, took to Instagram to share a heartwarming behind-the-scenes video that has left fans spellbound.
The enchanting clip captures the camaraderie between Kidman and Bullock as they frolic in a sun-kissed field, laughing and embracing each other like long-lost sisters. The video also features a sneak peek at Crystal, Stevie Nicks' re-recorded version of the Buckingham Nicks track that was featured on the original soundtrack.
Kidman captioned her post: "That's a wrap on #PracticalMagic2! Thank you to the cast & crew for all your magic." Her words are music to the ears of fans who have been eagerly awaiting this sequel, which promises to be just as spellbinding as its predecessor.
But what's brewing in the world of Practical Magic 2? Well, according to sources close to the production, the story will take place later in the series and follow the Owens family as they face new challenges and battles. The plot details remain under wraps for now, but one thing is certain – the talented cast and crew are working their magic to bring this thrilling sequel to life.
Joining Kidman and Bullock on this magical journey are newcomers Lee Pace (Bodies Bodies Bodies) and Joey King, as well as returning stars Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing. Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) and Xolo Maridueña will also make their mark in the world of Practical Magic 2.
However, not all original cast members will be reprising their roles. Evan Rachel Wood, who played Kylie Owens in the first film, announced on Instagram that she was not asked to return for the sequel. In a candid post, Wood revealed that it wasn't her decision not to participate, but rather a creative choice made by the production team.
"I'm getting asked about this a lot, so I'll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel," Wood shared. "I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line... It was not in my control or my choice."
The news has left fans disappointed, but Kidman had a reassuring message for them when speaking with Variety earlier this year: "When we were making the first film, we definitely did think about doing a sequel. We're so excited. Yes, yes, beyond excited. You heard our spell. We put out our spell already."
The filmmaking team behind Practical Magic 2, which includes director Susanne Bier, echoed Kidman's sentiments: "Twenty-five years ago, Sally, Gillian, Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny flew off the pages of Alice Hoffman's beloved novel and into theaters around the world, and we are thrilled to bring the Owens family back to the big screen with Joey, Lee, Maisie, Solly, and Xolo joining the next chapter in our story."
Get ready for a spellbinding adventure like no other! Practical Magic 2 is set to premiere on September 18, 2026. Mark your calendars and get ready to join the Owens family on their next magical journey.
