The Owens sisters are set to enchant audiences once again as filming for Practical Magic 2 has officially wrapped. On Saturday, Nicole Kidman took to Instagram to announce the conclusion of production, sharing a delightful video of her and co-star Sandra Bullock laughing while walking into the sunset on set.
Kidman captioned the post, “That’s a wrap on Practical Magic 2. Thank you to the cast & crew for all your magic.”
Initially announcing the film in July, Kidman celebrated the first day of shooting with a post featuring a video of her and Bullock sharing a hug, alongside the caption: “The witches are back. Owens sisters’ first day on set!”
The original Practical Magic, released in 1998, starred Kidman and Bullock as orphaned sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who navigate the complexities of love while contending with a family curse. Both actresses are set to reprise their roles, with the returning cast also including Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, who portrayed their witch aunts in the original.
Reflecting on the project, the filmmaking team remarked, “25 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. The enduring affection for these characters has been our inspiration to deliver the next installment in the Owens’ story to new fans, and those who’ve been with us since the beginning.”
Joining the cast are rising stars Joey King (The Act), Lee Pace (Bodies Bodies Bodies), Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai), and Solly McLeod (The Dead Don’t Hurt).
However, there will be a notable absence in the lineup; Evan Rachel Wood, who played Kylie, Sally’s daughter in the original film, has confirmed her non-participation in the sequel, stating via social media that she was not asked to join the new cast for the project.
Directed by Susanne Bier (The Perfect Couple, Bird Box), with a screenplay penned by Akiva Goldsman (co-writer of the original Practical Magic) and Georgia Pritchett (Succession), Practical Magic 2 is expected to charm its way into theaters on September 18, 2026. Fans of the franchise eagerly await this return to the magical world of the Owens sisters.
