Nicole Kidman is returning to the spellbound world of âPractical Magic,â and this time, the experience meant even more. The Oscar-winning actress shared that she felt âprotected and lovedâ while filming the long-awaited sequel alongside Sandra Bullock and the cast, calling the supportive energy on set a rare and meaningful moment in her career as she navigates personal changes.
In a conversation with Ariana Grande for Interview magazine, Kidman explained that filming usually feels intense, but this project was different. The environment was warm, safe and rooted in genuine connection. She credited much of that to her close bond with Bullock and the women involved, describing a strong sense of sisterhood throughout production.
Filmed in London over the summer, the sequel marks a full-circle moment nearly three decades after the 1998 film premiered. Kidman said it felt surreal to reunite with Bullock as Gillian and Sally Owens while also serving as producers. Watching the sequel finally come together under a major studio like Warner Bros. was a milestone she never imagined when the original was released.
A set built on sisterhood and support
Kidman emphasized that this particular production environment was unlike most, explaining that she does not always find filming to be enjoyable due to the demanding nature of her roles. However, being surrounded by women she deeply trusts shifted the tone completely. Bullock, along with newcomers Joey King and Maisie Williams, created a safe and uplifting space that allowed Kidman to approach each day with confidence and comfort.
Grande, who has spoken openly about the sisterly bonds she formed on the set of âWicked,â called Kidmanâs experience âbeautiful,â to which the actress agreed. The emotional safety she felt while filming âPractical Magic 2â became one of the most meaningful aspects of the entire journey for her.
From wrapping production to a new personal chapter
Shortly after production concluded, Kidman confirmed that filming had officially wrapped by posting a behind-the-scenes clip of herself and Bullock laughing and embracing on set, per People. The moment offered fans a genuine glimpse into the joy shared between the longtime co-stars and a celebration of the magic they helped bring back to life. In her caption, she thanked the cast and crew and recognized the special energy surrounding the projectâs completion.
Not long after that announcement, reports surfaced that Kidman and her husband of 19 years, Keith Urban, had split. The couple, who married in 2006, share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. According to a source close to the actress, her family has rallied around her during this time, with her sister Antonia playing a key role in providing support as Kidman continues to move forward.
Despite the personal changes in her life, Kidman has remained focused on her work and the meaningful connections she has built through this project. With both returning and new cast members, the sequel is shaping up to honor the heart of the original while introducing a new generation to the Owens family.
Practical Magic 2â is scheduled to arrive in theaters on Sept. 18, 2026.
