Nicole Kidman has confirmed that filming for “Practical Magic 2” has wrapped, sharing a behind-the-scenes video on her Instagram with co-star Sandra Bullock. The pair, who originally starred in the 1998 adaptation of Alice Hoffman’s novel, will reprise their roles as witch sisters Gillian and Sally Owens in the long-awaited sequel.
The clip shows Kidman and Bullock laughing and skipping through a field at sunset, set to Stevie Nicks’ re-recorded version of “Crystal,” a track featured on the original film’s soundtrack.
Kidman captioned the post, “That’s a wrap on Practical Magic 2! Thank you to the cast & crew for all your magic.”
Returning and New Cast Members
The new film, set for release on September 18, 2026, will see the return of Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing as Aunt Jet and Aunt Frances. They will be joined by newcomers Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod.
However, one original cast member will not be returning. Evan Rachel Wood, who played Sally’s daughter Kylie in the first film, revealed that she was not asked to reprise her role despite offering to participate.
While plot details remain under wraps, reports suggest the story will be based on a later installment in Alice Hoffman’s “Practical Magic” book series. The project will be directed by Susanne Bier.
Reflecting on the sequel earlier this year, Kidman said that she and Bullock had long hoped to continue the story. “When we were making it [the original], we definitely did. We’re so excited. Yes, yes, beyond excited. You heard our spell—we put out our spell already.”
