"Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that's that," she said. "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.'"

Warner Bros. first announce that a sequel to the 1998 witchy film was in the works earlier this week, and Entertainment Weekly confirmed that Kidman and Bullock were in talks to return to their roles, as well as produce alongside the original's producer Denise Di Novi.

The sequel film is based on a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the screenplay for the first Practical Magic with Robin Swicord and Adam Brooks, based on the novel of the same name by author Alice Hoffman. The beloved film followed sister witches Sally and Gillian, who were raised by their eccentric aunts (played by Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest) after their parents died. They faced ages-old prejudices and one resurrection gone wrong, all while trying to find happiness in the face of a family curse that keeps killing their lovers.

Plot details about the sequel are being kept under wraps for now, but there is plenty of material to potentially pull from. In addition to the original 1995 novel, there are three other books in the Practical Magic series: prequels The Rules of Magic (2017) and Magic Lessons (2020), and sequel The Book of Magic (2021).

Additionally, in 2019, HBO Max (since rebranded to Max) ordered a 1960s-set pilot for a Practical Magic prequel series focusing on the aunts, Franny and Jet. However, that project ultimately never materialized.

In addition to Kidman, Bullock, Channing, and Wiest, the original film also starred Evan Rachel Wood, Aidan Quinn, and Goran Višnjić. Further casting for the sequel has not yet been announced.
