The Owens sisters are heading back to the big screen soon.
On Saturday, Nicole Kidman announced on Instagram that Practical Magic 2 has completed production by posting a video of her and Sandra Bullock laughing and walking into the sunset while on set.
“That’s a wrap on Practical Magic 2,” Kidman wrote as the caption. “Thank you to the cast & crew for all your magic.”
In July, Kidman shared a post to celebrate the first day of filming. The post showed another video of her and Bullock, hugging with the caption: “The witches are back. Owens sisters’ first day on set!”
The original film, released in theaters in 1998, starred Kidman and Bullock as orphaned sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who are raised by their witch aunts Aunt Jet (Dianne Wiest) and Aunt Franny (Stockard Channing). They work to learn how to use their powers against a curse that threatens them from finding love. Wiest and Stockard are also returning for the sequel, announced in July.
“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 filmmaking team said in a statement at the time. “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.”
More additions to the cast include 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, not returning for the follow-up is Evan Rachel Wood, who played Sally’s (Bullock) daughter, Kylie, in the original movie. Wood wrote on her Instagram stories in July: “I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel. I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are recasting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”
Susanne Bier (The Perfect Couple, Bird Box) directs the feature, and Akiva Goldsman (co-writer of the original Practical Magic) and Georgia Pritchett (Succession) penned the screenplay.
Warner Bros.’ Practical Magic 2 is set to hit theaters Sept. 18, 2026.
