Joey King in Talks to Join Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman in ‘Practical Magic 2' (Exclusive)
Joey King is in negotiations to star alongside Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2, Warner Bros.'s Pictures sequel to the 1998 movie. Susanne Bier, who directed Bullock in the post-apocalyptic thriller Bird Box and Kidman in the sordid Netflix mini-series The Perfect Couple, is on board to helm the feature that has a Sept. 18, 2026 release date. More from The Hollywood Reporter Nicole Kidman Gives Update on 'Practical Magic' Sequel With Sandra Bullock: "It's Fun and Witchy" 'Nine Perfect Strangers' Stars Recount How Nicole Kidman Stayed in Character on Set: "Kind of Thrilling - and Scary" Tom Cruise Says He "Suggested" Nicole Kidman for 'Eyes Wide Shut' Role: "She's a Great Actress" Bullock and Kidman are reprising their roles as witch sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who in the original movie fight a family curse that dispatches the men with whom they fall in love. That movie was based on the novel by Alice Hoffman and juggled themes and ideas of sisterhood, female empowerment, domestic abuse, with some comedy and supernatural fun thrown in. King will play one of Bullock's daughters, the one who discovers the dark family secrets and her own dark powers, plunging the family into a crisis. Akiva Goldman, who co-wrote the first movie, co-wrote the script for this installment with Georgia Pritchett. Bullock and Kidman are also producing along with the original's Denise Di Novi. A late summer shoot in London, where Warners shoots many of its movies, is being planned. Warners had no comment on the dealmaking. King became a household name to the Gen Z crowd thanks to playing a teen torn between two boys in the romantic Kissing Booth trio of movies that were among the most viewed on Netflix for a time. She earned an Emmy for her work in the Hulu crime drama The Act and has taken leading roles with 20th Century Studios' The Princess and opposite Brad Pitt in Bullet Train. She last starred in the Netflix sci-fi flick Uglies, directed by McG. King is repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
