Practical Magic Sequel Will Include Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman confirms the news that she and Sandra Bullock will return as the Owens sisters for the Practical Magic sequel.

Fans of the 1998 hit film Practical Magic have reason to celebrate as a sequel to the much-loved movie is officially in the works. To make the situation even sweeter, the new installment will additionally see the return of its recognizable stars, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, who are set to reprise their roles as the bewitching Owens sisters. Here's what we know so far!

Nicole Kidman Says the Owens Sister Will Return for Practical Magic 2

During a recent interview with People, Kidman exclusively confirmed the return of both actors, telling the publication, "Yes, I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that's that. There's a lot more to tell, which is why we go, 'OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this.'" Due to its recent confirmation, there isn't anything concrete in terms of plot or additional cast, but because of the nostalgia factor and star power, there are plenty of reasons to believe that the sequel could surpass the success of the first film.

At the time of its release, Practical Magic wasn't exactly a major box office success story, grossing over $68 million worldwide with a budget that exceeded $70 million and a Rotten Tomatoes score that doesn't suggest it was well-received. However, since then, it's proven to be a cult classic with both actors given its witchy charm, and both actors celebrated industry status. Now, as audiences eagerly await more information about the upcoming Practical Magic sequel, one thing is certain — the reunion of Kidman and Bullock is sure to cast a spell on both old fans and new audiences.

Practical Magic Synopsis: Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves. But when Gillian's vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic), dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn) growing suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line.
