The Owens sisters left Coupeville: The filming locations of Practical Magic 2

Practical Magic 2

It started with a cemetery. On July 18, 2025, Nicole Kidman posted a video to Instagram: her arms wrapped around Sandra Bullock somewhere in an old English graveyard, both of them back in character, both of them laughing.

Twenty-eight years after Sally and Gillian Owens first made their midnight margaritas in a Victorian kitchen on Whidbey Island, the Owens sisters were back. And they were very far from Coupeville, Washington.

The story picks up twenty-five years later, following the Owens family into a new multi-generational crisis — a dark discovery about the origins of their magic and a curse that has haunted the bloodline for centuries. Principal photography began on July 18, 2025, and wrapped on September 13, 2025 — just under two months, across three distinct locations.

Coupeville, Leavesden and Worcester Park

The original Practical Magic was American through and through — visually, atmospherically, emotionally. The Owens house was a grand Gothic Victorian built specifically for the film on a bluff above Penn Cove in Coupeville, Washington, on Whidbey Island. It doesn't exist anymore, it was dismantled after filming wrapped. What remains is the bluff, the view, and a small town that has never quite gotten over the whole thing — and now celebrates an annual "Practically Magic Halloweekend" every October. The sequel doesn't go back. The Owens family travels to Europe, following the origins of their curse, and the production followed the story.

The heart of Practical Magic 2's production is Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. Most of the film was made here, all interior scenes in a rebuilt Owens family house.

But not all of the London filming happened at Leavesden. Reports confirm filming in Worcester Park — a quiet suburban neighbourhood in the London Borough of Sutton, about twelve miles southwest of central London. Sandra Bullock was spotted filming here with Dianne Wiest, who returns as Aunt Jet Owens.

Royal Hospital Chelsea and Redcross Way Southwark

In the trailer we spotted a scene with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock that was shot on Redcross Way in London, a narrow backstreet running south through Southwark towards London Bridge.

Xolo Maridueña — who plays one of the new generation of characters — filmed at Royal Hosptial Chelsea, on the grounds, on a bicycle.

Old Wardour Castle, Wiltshire

And then there's the ruin. Old Wardour Castle in Wiltshire — hexagonal, 14th century, half-destroyed in the Civil War when its own owner blew up the walls to evict a Parliamentary garrison — is confirmed as a Practical Magic 2 filming location. The castle previously appeared in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Now it hosts the Owens family curse instead.

Practical Magic 2 opens in cinemas on September 11, 2026.
