Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock Reunite After Years
Bullock’s involvement in the sequel marks a notable return to acting following her break announced in 2022, taken to focus on family. Two years later, both Bullock and Kidman confirmed the official development of Practical Magic 2. On July 18, Kidman shared a behind-the-scenes moment on Instagram showing the two actresses embracing near a cemetery headstone, captioning it, “The witches are back.”
She accompanied the post with the phrase,
“Owens sisters’ first day on set!”
Both stars resume their iconic roles as Sally and Gillian Owens, sisters linked by their shared heritage as witches.
What Fans Can Look Forward To in the New Film
Though plot details remain mostly confidential, the story reportedly draws inspiration from a later book in Alice Hoffman‘s series. The original film centered on Sally and Gillian battling a family curse that doomed the men they loved. This new installment aims to continue the Owens family’s story for fans old and new.
Deadline’s statement from the producers highlighted the film’s legacy:
“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. 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.”
With Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprising their roles, Practical Magic 2 is generating significant excitement as fans eagerly await this magical reunion that has been decades in the making.
