Wicked For Good Sequel Releases November 21, 2025
The highly anticipated sequel to the 2024 blockbuster "Wicked" arrives in theaters on November 21, 2025, as "Wicked For Good" brings the second act of the Broadway musical to the screen. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film stars Ariana Grande as Glinda, Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, continuing the story of the witches of Oz from the original's cliffhanger ending.
Adapted from the second half of the Tony Award-winning musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, "Wicked For Good" draws from Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, itself a reimagining of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and its 1939 film version. The narrative picks up after Elphaba's defiant flight on her broom, exploring the consequences of her rebellion against the Wizard's regime. Elphaba, now branded the Wicked Witch of the West for advocating the rights of oppressed talking animals, faces isolation and propaganda led by Madame Morrible. Meanwhile, Glinda grapples with her role in the power structure, evolving from a privileged socialite to a figure who redefines goodness through her enduring friendship with Elphaba....
