Evan Rachel Wood will not appear in the upcoming sequel to the 1998 film 'Practical Magic', the actress has confirmed. Wood played the eldest daughter of Sandra Bullock's character in the original movie. In statements to multiple outlets, Wood said she was not asked to reprise the role and expressed disappointment. According to Rolling Stone, Wood described herself as 'sad' about not being invited back. The Hollywood Reporter added that Wood explained the sequel is not following the book, implying that her character's story may not align with the new film's direction. The 1998 film, based on Alice Hoffman's novel, starred Bullock and Nicole Kidman as witch sisters. Wood played Bullock's on-screen daughter, Kylie Owens, alongside Alexandra Artrip as her younger sister. The sequel was announced in 2023 with Bullock and Kidman attached to return, but details about the plot remain sparse. Wood's absence marks a notable change, as her character was a key part of the original's family dynamic. Neither Bullock nor Kidman have commented on Wood's remarks. The sequel is reportedly in development at Warner Bros., with no release date set yet.
