Last year, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande practically had us all defying gravity in the Wicked film adaptation, and they're not stopping there. The second part of the musical adaptation, Wicked: For Good will fall upon us later this year, wrapping up the entire epic story.
Wicked: For Good release date is November 21, 2025. The film arrives just in time for Thanksgiving. Universal Pictures has already dropped a trailer for the film, which you can catch below.
From the trailer, we can see that Universal is sparing no expense for the finale. We've got fire! Angry mobs! A wedding dress! A leaping proboscis monkey! Winged monkeys! Michelle Yeoh!
Wicked: For Good is highly anticipated by fans of the Broadway musical because of its intended fidelity to its source material. By splitting the film adaptation into two separate movies, Universal didn't have to worry about cutting iconic songs out or rushing plot points. The people love their musical drama, and with the release of two films, Wicked girlies can marathon both films and feel the entire rollercoaster of emotions without skimping on anything.
Now we are left with one question: can we expect to see an epic performance from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande at the 2026 Academy Awards? Only time will tell.
Wicked: For Good will be released in theaters on November 21, 2025.
