According to the caption of the post, both actresses are set to return for the sequel, simply titled "Practical Magic 2."

Details for the upcoming film have not yet been released, but if it's anything like the first, it will be just as magical.

"Practical Magic" first charmed audiences in 1998. It followed Gillian Owens and Sally Owens, two witch sisters born into a magical family and raised by their aunts in a small town, according to a synopsis.

When Gillian's (Kidman) boyfriend dies unexpectedly, the sisters "give themselves a crash course in hard magic" and try to "resurrect him," the synopsis states.

The film was based on the 1995 Alice Hoffman novel of the same name.

It also starred Evan Rachel Wood, Camilla Belle, Dianne Wiest, Margo Martindale and Stockard Channing.

News about a sequel was announced in June 2024. At the time, Warner Bros. shared a series of clips from the film on social media to confirm that "Practical Magic 2" was in the works.
