Nicole Kidman shares rare images from 'Practical Magic 2' set in surprise photo dump

Nicole Kidman was spotted exploring a lush, plant-filled greenhouse on the set of 'Practical Magic 2,' taking in the serene, enchanting surroundings. Bathed in warm natural light and surrounded by vibrant greenery, the behind-the-scenes moment felt straight out of the magical world of the film, 28 years after the release of the original.

The carousel also featured a polaroid photo of Nicole Kidman with Sandra Bullock, alongside newcomers Maisie Williams and Joey King, dressed in their costumes for the highly anticipated sequel. While Warner Bros. is yet to reveal a full synopsis for the film, the studio teased fans with a simple promise: “The magic returns.”

In one of the photos, Nicole Kidman was pictured seated at a table on set, appearing to film a scene with fellow cast members while being surrounded by cameras and other on-set equipment. Kidman first revealed that 'Practical Magic' would receive a sequel in a June 2024 interview with PEOPLE, noting that she and Bullock "found a way in" to returning to the world of the original movie.

Nicole Kidman was also seen in character, appearing to perform a spell inside the lush, plant-filled greenhouse setting. Dressed in a flowing black ensemble, she could be seen standing beside a table covered with candles, herbs and other mystical objects, giving fans a glimpse of the film’s enchanting atmosphere. Kidman and Sandra Bullock also offered a preview of the highly anticipated sequel at CinemaCon in Las Vegas in April, where they enthusiastically announced that “The witches are back!”

One of the photos also showed the cast seated around a candlelit table, appearing to share a conversation during a scene from 'Practical Magic 2.' The richly detailed set, filled with vintage furnishings and warm lighting, gives the gathering a distinctly old-world, almost medieval-inspired atmosphere. The film is co-written by original screenwriter Akiva Goldsman and 'Succession' writer Georgia Pritchett, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman also serving as producers.

Nicole Kidman also shared a separate slide dedicated to co-star Sandra Bullock. The on-set image captured in a picturesque setting with scenic views showed Bullock and Kidman walking side-by-side, each wearing puffer long coats. The photo revived nostalgia surrounding the fan-favorite Owens sisters, just in time for the new movie.

One of the slides also pictured Nicole Kidman alongside several cast and crew members on the set of 'Practical Magic 2,' gathered near filming equipment and watching the action unfold. She previously revealed that for the sequel, the original house was rebuilt, helping bring the familiar world of the first film back to life. Kidman has also teased how the new story reconnects the characters with their past, their family and the destinies that continue to shape their lives.

Another photo showed Nicole Kidman sharing a warm laugh with newcomer Joey King on the set of 'Practical Magic 2.' The behind-the-scenes moment captured the two actresses relaxing between takes. King plays Sandra Bullock’s daughter in the sequel and has spoken about feeling a “massive responsibility” joining the beloved franchise. As a longtime fan of the 1998 original, she also revealed that Bullock quickly welcomed her and Maisie Williams into the cast.

Kidman left no stone unturned to revive the nostalgia around the OG Owens sisters, Gillian and Sally, in her carousel post. The actress shared a black-and-white photo of her and Sandra Bullock's respective director's chairs marked with their iconic character names.

A behind-the-scenes photo showed a production monitor displaying a close-up scene of Nicole Kidman from 'Practical Magic 2.' The warm, softly lit image captured her character in a quiet, introspective moment inside the film’s atmospheric setting. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE earlier this month, Xolo Mariduena, who plays the love interest of Joey King, praised Kidman and Sandra Bullock as “legends,” saying they led “by example” on set.

The behind-the-scenes photo captured Nicole Kidman and her castmates in a lighthearted moment on the set, dressed in their whimsical costumes and sharing smiles and laughter between takes while on a harness. The playful atmosphere, umbrellas and theatrical set-up offered a glimpse into the fun and camaraderie behind the film’s magical world.

Another black-and-white photo showed Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman's Owens sisters from the back, seemingly standing alongside Joey King's Kylie Owens and Maisie Williams' Antonia Owens. The quartet appeared to be standing atop a platform while holding umbrellas in their hands.

Nicole Kidman was also seen in a flowing white dress with puffed sleeves, a black belt and delicate braided hair, giving her character a soft, bohemian look that suits the film’s magical setting. The original 'Practical Magic,' based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel, follows sisters Gillian and Sally, who are raised by their aunts after the tragic death of their parents. When the men they fall in love with keep dying, the family comes together to break a generations-old curse that was meant to prevent the women in their family from ever finding lasting love.

Kidman's carousel post not only focused on the cast members but also highlighted the crew. One of the photos showed what appeared to be a team of stunt doubles on harnesses standing in front of a blue screen while the actors appeared to gather on a platform right above them. The image was seemingly taken mid-filming and perfectly offered a detailed behind-the-scenes look.

Nicole Kidman’s carousel also featured a striking nighttime view of the Owens family house, recreated with its distinctive Victorian architecture, tall tower, ornate white exterior and grand balconies. Surrounded by dense greenery and glowing string lights, the house captured the enchanting, gothic atmosphere that has become synonymous with the world of 'Practical Magic.'
