Fans won’t have to wait too much longer to see the Owens sisters back on the big screen.
Nicole Kidman took to Instagram Saturday morning to announce that “Practical Magic 2” has wrapped production.
“That’s a wrap on ‘Practical Magic 2,’” read the caption, “Thank you to the cast & crew for all your magic.”
The highly anticipated sequel to the 1998 fantasy comedy is set to hit theaters on Sept. 18, 2026. Kidman, as well as original co-star Sandra Bullock, will both reprise their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who descend from a storied lineage of witches. In the first film, based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel, the Owens sisters must stop a curse that kills every man they fall in love with. Plot details for “Practical Magic 2” are still under wraps, but the film is reportedly based on another book in Hoffman’s “Practical Magic” series.
Original stars Dianne West and Stockard Channing will also return for the sequel. They are set to reprise their roles as Jet and Frances, respectively, the Owens sisters’ eccentric aunts who educate them on all things magic. Other cast members include Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod and Joey King.
“Bird Box” director Susanne Bier will helm the film from a screenplay co-written by Akiva Goldsman, who also co-wrote the first “Practical Magic”, and Georgia Pritchett.
The original “Practical Magic” was not a box office hit upon its 1998 release, only grossing $68.3 million worldwide against its $75 million budget. However, the film achieved cult hit status on home video.
