The originalPractical Magicfilm, based on the 1995 novel by Alice Hoffman, follows sisters Gillian and Sally, who learn that men they grow romantically involved with keep dying due to a family curse. They then join forces to ward off that curse, which was meant to keep any women in their family from ever falling in love.

In August 2024, one of the movie's producers, Denise Di Novi, told PEOPLEthat the team behind the new sequel "gets how important the first movie is to so many people, women in particular, and we want to honor that for sure."

"There's a joyousness to that movie, and there's such beautiful themes of sisterhood and family and acceptance, tolerance, love," Di Novi, 69, said at that time. "Just the title that Alice Hoffman, the amazing author, thought of that's now become part of the vernacular of Practical Magic is that there's magic in daily life, in love, in family, in sisterhood. It's magical, and we all have our gifts, and women have very particular and specific gifts. We really want to honor all of that."

The original Practical Magic also starred Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as Kidman and Bullock's on-screen aunts, as well as Goran Visnjic, Aidan Quinn, Evan Rachel Wood and Peter Shaw.

For Bullock, Practical Magic 2 will mark her first big screen role since 2022. PEOPLE recently confirmed that she will also reunite with Speed costar Keanu Reeves for an upcoming romantic thriller with Amazon MGM Studios.
