"Practical Magic 2" Begins Production

Production has begun on "Practical Magic 2", Warner Bros. Pictures’ sequel to the 1998 romantic fantasy starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock.

Kidman posted a video on her Instagram Friday of herself and Bullock filming on their first day on the set of the follow-up.

In the video, Kidman is seen embracing Bullock as they stand in front of a headstone at a cemetery.

"The witches are back ✨ Owens sisters’ first day on set!" she captioned the post.

Bullock and Kidman are reprising their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who descend from a long line of witches.

In the 1998 original, based on the novel by Alice Hoffman, the two witches find themselves fighting off a curse that kills the men they fall in love with.

While the plot details for the second film have not been disclosed, the story is reportedly based on a later installment in Hoffman’s “Practical Magic” book series.

Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing will reprise their roles as Aunt Jet and Aunt Frances “Fran” Owens, respectively.

Additional cast members include Lee Pace (“Bodies Bodies Bodies”), Joey King (“The Act”), Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”), Xolo Maridueña (“Blue Beetle”), and Solly McLeod (“The Dead Don’t Hurt”).

Susanne Bier (“Bird Box”) is directing from a screenplay co-written by Akiva Goldsman, who also co-wrote the original, and Georgia Pritchett (“Succession”).

Earlier this year, Kidman told Variety that she and Bullock were already thinking about a follow-up when they shot the first film. “When we were making it, we definitely did,” Kidman said. “We’re so excited. Yes, yes, beyond excited. You heard our spell. We put out our spell already.”
