She went on to explain that filming is usually an intense experience for her, but this project was different because it was a warm and loving environment. She emphasized the importance of sisterhood during production.
The film is scheduled to drop on September 18 and was filmed in London over the summer. This sequel has been long-awaited, and Kidman was thrilled to reunite with Bullock, along with serving as a producer.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman Revisit Their Lasting Bond
Bullock also shared a sweet birthday tribute to the actress on Instagram back in June, referring to her as her “witchy sister.” Kidman also shared with People in 2025 that returning to the screen together felt natural and that the two have remained close since the original film.
“We were just right back into it,” she said. “I adore her, and she is so funny and so lovable. And we’re just having the best time together.”
Bullock also once joked that their bond was renewed during reshoots through good conversation and a bottle of wine in an old interview with TODAY.
“The fact is, we don’t have anything in common, except for at the dinner table with a bottle of wine, and everything blends sort of together,” she said on air.
She also recalled a memorable moment with her co-star during the interview.
“And Nicole just put the bottle on the table and said, ‘You know what? There’s no reason we shouldn’t be drunk here.’ And I said, ‘You know what? That’s true,’” Bullock added.
Fans continue to be excited to see the camaraderie between the women involved with the “Practical Magic” movies return to the screen this fall with the sequel.
