Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are conjuring up some 1998 magic.

The actresses reunited on the set of the highly anticipated "Practical Magic" sequel, as seen in a video that Kidman shared to Instagram on Friday, July 18.

The clip showed the pair sharing a hug and smiling from ear to ear at a cemetery. The sweet moment appears to have been captured in between takes.

"The witches are back ✨ Owens sisters' first day on set!" Kidman captioned the video.

Kidman's "Big Little Lies" costar Reese Witherspoon was among those thrilled by the sneak peek. The "Legally Blonde" star commented on the post, "Makes me SO HAPPY!" Kerry Washington also wrote in a comment, "DAY MADE."

Bullock and Kidman starred as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens in 1998's "Practical Magic," which also starred Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest.

Wiest and Channing are both back as Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny, respectively, in "Practical Magic 2," which is also set to star Joey KingLee PaceMaisie WilliamsXolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod.

But one star from the original film won't be returning: Evan Rachel Wood, who played the daughter of Bullock's character, recently revealed on Instagram that her role was recast for the sequel, even though she hoped to reprise the character.

"I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are recasting," she wrote in an Instagram story, according to People and The Hollywood Reporter.

The "Westworld" star added, "I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters."

Susanne Bier ("Bird Box") is directing "Practical Magic 2," which was officially confirmed by Warner Bros. in June 2024. Speaking to "Extra" that month, Kidman said she and Bullock were "circling" a "Practical Magic" sequel "for a while" but "wanted to make sure we had a good story."

When will 'Practical Magic 2' be released?

"Practical Magic 2" is scheduled to hit theaters on Sept. 18, 2026.
