Nicole Kidman has had a remarkable impact on the world of entertainment with her exceptional talent and versatility. The actress started her career in 1983 with Australian productions such as ‘Bush Christmas’ and ‘BMX Bandits.’ However, it was her captivating performance in the 1989 thriller ‘Dead Calm’ that catapulted her to stardom. Following the breakthrough, Kidman went on to grace the silver screen in movies like ‘Days of Thunder,’ ‘To Die For,’ ‘The Hours’ and ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and also impressed television audiences with her roles in ‘Big Little Lies,’ and ‘The Undoing.’ The Academy Award-winning actress always leaves an indelible mark on the audience with her performances, and she is expected to continue to do so in future projects. Here is a list of Nicole Kidman’s upcoming films and television shows!
1. Practical Magic 2 (September 18, 2026)
A sequel to the cult romantic fantasy drama ‘Practical Magic’ (1998) is in the pipeline at Warner Bros. Both Kidman and Sandra Bullock are set to return and reprise their roles as witch sisters Gillian Owens and Sally Owens, respectively. Both actresses are set to produce as well, although no plot has been revealed yet. Susanne Bier will direct it. The first part (based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 eponymous novel) shows how the sisters are deprived of true love after a curse befalls them, which kills any man who gets romantically involved with them, and how they get rid of the curse. Akiva Goldsman, one of the co-writers of the first film, is back to write the sequel, along with Georgia Pritchett. As per producer Denise Di Novi, the sequel is adapted from Hoffman’s sequel novel ‘The Book of Magic,’ which centers on Sally’s daughters, who have grown up but are unaware of the Owens curse, which spells death for the men they fall for. The cast also includes Lee Pace, Joey King, Maisie Williams, Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod. Filming is underway, and the movie will be released on September 18, 2026.

Both Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, who played two of the five leads in Season 1 and Season 2 of the hit crime drama, have made it clear that Season 3 is happening. Their confirmation is supported by HBO CEO Casey Bloys. However, that’s all we know for now. Considering that the two actors were joined by Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, and Zoë Kravitz, we can expect they will be back, too. The five women together make the lead characters, upper-class moms hailing from Monterey, California, who are suspects in a murder case. The series is based on Liane Moriarty’s 2014 New York Times best-selling novel of the same name. It is slated to arrive in 2026, although a specific release date is awaited.

Foster, and Amanda Righetti. Elizabeth Sarnoff serves as the showrunner of the Amazon Prime Video series, with Charlotte Brändström as a director.

Kidman is executive producing along with Elle and her sister, Dakota Fanning.
The plot follows Margo Millet, played by Elle, who is a former pro-wrestler who always knew she had to live on her own without anyone’s support. She enrolls at the local junior college and gets into a brief affair with her English teacher, during which she gets pregnant and keeps the baby. On the verge of getting evicted and all out of cash, her estranged father, Jinx, knocks on her door and moves in with her. She then decides to open an OlyFans account and uses Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling to make a compelling character out of herself and have people like her. Soon, she tastes success, but the question is: is she prepared for it? Kidman will presumably play Margo’s mother, who is a Hooter waitress.
