Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden is reportedly hosting production of a Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock movie this summer.
The stars will be reprising their roles from the original film in Practical Magic 2, and it is now widely reported that filming is underway in Leavesden despite the setting likely being a town near Seattle.
Earlier this year Warner Bros. Pictures announced a sequel was “in development and coming soon” – 26 years after the first adaptation of the Alice Hoffman novel series debuted.
Images of a set at Leavesden that look very similar to the main characters’ house in the original film have been shared online. The house was also a purpose-built set for the original 1998 film.
In Practical Magic, Bullock stars as Sally Owens, alongside Kidman as her younger sister Gillian, as they attempt to break their family’s curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.
She added: “There’s a lot more to tell which is why we go, ‘OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this’.

Details of the film’s plot have been kept under wraps, however there are three other books in Hoffman’s Practical Magic series, including two prequels and a sequel titled The Book Of Magic, released in 2021.
The HBO Harry Potter TV series and an untitled project directed by JJ Abrams are also reportedly filming at Warner Bros. Leavesden this summer.
