About this listen
Sandra Bullock is firmly back in the Hollywood spotlight as she reunites with Nicole Kidman to film Practical Magic 2, the long-awaited follow-up to their 1998 cult favorite. In a highly publicized Instagram video posted by Kidman in mid-July, the two are seen embracing on set and beaming with joy, a moment that immediately trended across celebrity news and social media circles. Kidman affectionately called Bullock her “sister,” telling PEOPLE and multiple outlets that the dynamic between the actresses is “insane,” filled with playful teasing and genuine affection—“We’re both living in London, very close to each other, and we’re just having the best time together.” That close bond, after more than two decades, is fueling a wave of nostalgia and excitement for the sequel, which is set to hit theaters in September 2026.
Production is underway in London with a star-studded cast including Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest reprising their roles as the eccentric aunts, and new faces like Joey King, Maisie Williams, Lee Pace, and Xolo Maridueña joining the witches’ circle. Joey King takes over the role of Sally Owen’s daughter, a casting change that Evan Rachel Wood addressed candidly on Instagram after not being invited back for the sequel. Wood’s heartfelt message clarifying the decision sparked a flurry of fan discussion online but was quickly overshadowed by the excitement surrounding the return of the core cast.
With Warner Bros. and acclaimed director Susanne Bier at the helm, and Bullock not only starring but also serving as producer, Practical Magic 2 promises to honor both Alice Hoffman’s beloved novels and the legacy of the original film. Producer Denise Di Novi promised Entertainment Weekly the project would stay “faithful” to fans’ cherished characters and timelines, further raising biographical stakes for Bullock as both artist and architect behind the scenes.
To capitalize on the surging buzz, Warner Bros. has also made the original Practical Magic available for streaming on Hulu as of August 1, 2025, drawing renewed interest in Bullock’s earlier work and her evolution as a Hollywood mainstay. As media and celebrity fan pages continue to highlight Sandra’s chemistry with Kidman and her hands-on role as a producer, her social and cultural relevance endures—making her reunion with Kidman not just a splashy news story, but a significant chapter in the ongoing story of America’s sweetheart. According to IMDB News, this “magical” comeback is shaping up as one of the defining Hollywood moments of the summer, with Bullock’s personal and professional gravitas on full display.
