Sandra Bullock has hinted that Olivia Rodrigo and Stevie Nicks may be heard in Practical Magic 2, but neither Warner Bros. nor representatives for the two artists have confirmed involvement in the soundtrack.
The actor shared an Instagram Story video of Rodrigo and Nicks performing together at Daisy Chain Fields, writing that the “angel voices” were part of an upcoming film. The wording immediately fuelled sequel speculation, but it did not name the film or clarify whether this meant a new recording, an existing song or simply a tease.
The possibility carries particular weight because music was central to the atmosphere of the 1998 film and two Stevie Nicks songs appeared on its original soundtrack. A collaboration with a younger songwriter such as Rodrigo would also fit the sequel’s expansion of the Owens family across generations.
What Sandra Bullock actually posted
On August 30, after the two singers appeared together, Bullock shared the clip with her short reference to an upcoming movie. Variety requested comment from representatives for Nicks, Rodrigo and Warner Bros. but did not receive an immediate response.
Until an official track listing, press release or artist statement appears, the story remains a strong but unconfirmed hint. Bullock’s status as star and producer makes it notable, not definitive.
Stevie Nicks is already connected to the original
Nicks had two songs on the 1998 Practical Magic soundtrack, produced by Sheryl Crow. The film’s distinctive use of rock, pop and more atmospheric music helped give it an identity beyond its romantic fantasy plot.
At Daisy Chain Fields, Rodrigo invited Nicks on stage to perform Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide. Nicks publicly praised the younger singer, adding more weight to Bullock’s post.
What Warner Bros. has officially confirmed
Warner Bros. confirms Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as Sally and Gillian Owens. They are joined by Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing.
Susanne Bier directs from a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman, Georgia Pritchett and Kelly Marcel, based on Alice Hoffman’s novel The Book of Magic. Denise Di Novi, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are producers.
The official synopsis returns to the Owens family as the sisters and younger generations try to break the dark curse haunting them once and for all. The film therefore connects nostalgia for the original with a multigenerational continuation.
Who is officially credited for the music
Warner Bros. lists Rupert Gregson-Williams as composer, with Season Kent and Gabe Hilfer as music supervisors. Olivia Rodrigo and Stevie Nicks do not appear in the official production description.
That does not rule out a soundtrack or end-credit song, as such agreements are often announced close to release. It does require a clear distinction between Bullock’s teasing and a confirmed music credit.
The official trailer
Warner Bros.’ full trailer shows Sally and Gillian Owens reuniting, a younger generation of witches and the family curse returning. It is the most complete official view of the story ahead of release.
Release date
Warner Bros. says the international theatrical rollout begins September 9, 2026, followed by North America on September 11. The film is initially being released only in cinemas.
What we think
Bullock’s hint is too specific to ignore but not enough to present as an official collaboration. Nicks would create a direct bridge to the 1998 film, while Rodrigo could carry its musical identity to a new generation. Until the soundtrack is announced, the accurate wording is that the two artists may be involved—not that they are confirmed.
