When did Warner Bros. announce that Practical Magic 2 was in development?
Answer
June 10, 2024
Warner Bros. announced that Practical Magic 2 was in development on June 10, 2024.
The announcement identified the project as a sequel to the 1998 film and stated that Akiva Goldsman was writing the script. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were reported to be negotiating to reprise their roles and produce the film with Denise Di Novi.
This development announcement came before later milestones. Nicole Kidman confirmed her return on June 13, 2024, while the sequel’s connection to Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic was reported in July 2024. Susanne Bier was announced as director in May 2025.
These dates mark different stages of the film’s progress. The June 10 date identifies Warner Bros.’ initial public announcement that the sequel was being developed, not the casting confirmation, source-novel announcement, or director announcement.
