Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reunite on ‘Practical Magic 2’ set

Celebratory midnight margaritas are in order!

Practical Magic 2 has begun production, and we have a spellbinding clip of Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock on their first day on set to prove it.

Kidman has shared a video on Instagram from what appears to be a graveyard, where she and her big-screen sister Bullock, both clad in autumnal dresses, warmly embrace before the cameras start rolling.

The duo seem be situated in front of two graves, with Kidman’s arm notably inked up with a snake tattoo. Gillian Owens has returned!

“The witches are back,” Kidman captioned the post. “Owens sisters’ first day on set!”

Kidman and Bullock will reprise their roles as witchy siblings Sally and Gillian Owens, respectively, in the upcoming sequel from director Susanne beeswho most recently worked with Kidman on the miniseries The Perfect Couple and directed Bullock in the 2018 horror flick Bird Box.

Released in 1998, the first Practical Magic centered on the two sisters and a generations-old family curse that has prevented Owens women from ever finding lasting love. Griffin Dunne directed the original feature, an adaptation of the first of Alice Hoffman‘s series of novels.

The upcoming sequel will be a faithful adaptation of Hoffman’s 2021 book, The Book of Magic, Producer Denise of Novi Told Entertainment Weekly last year. “We’re cognizant to how important those characters and that movie are to so many people,” she said. “We’re not going to reinvent the wheel.”

News recently broke that Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are also set to reprise their roles as the Owen sisters’ eccentric aunts Frances “Franny” Owens and Bridget “Jet” Owens, respectively. Newcomers to the cast include Joey King (reportedly as one of Sally’s two onscreen daughters), Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod.

Evan Rachel Woodwho as a young actor played Kylie, the eldest daughter of Bullock’s Sally Owens, confirmed this week that she was not summoned to rejoin the coven. “I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now,” Wood wrote in a social media post. “I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel. l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line.”

Wood explained that she was told the production would be recasting. “I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice,” she said. “I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”

Practical Magic 2 will land in theaters on Sept. 18, 2026.
