Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman Reunite for 'Practical Magic 2'

Fans of the 1998 fantasy film Practical Magic can get excited—Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are coming back as Sally and Gillian Owens. Warner Bros. Studios confirmed the sequel is happening with a video post shared Tuesday. The studio, owned by CNN's parent company, revealed the film's release date and included a nostalgic spell chant.

Casting a New Spell Together

In the teaser clip, Nicole Kidman begins with the line, "Tooth of wolf and morning dew," followed by Bullock adding, "Something old and something new." The two then say in unison, "Let the spell begin to mix," concluding with the announcement: "Sept. 18, 2026." That's the official release date for Practical Magic 2, which will hit theatres only.
