Wicked: For Good | Wicked Movie – Part 2 | In Cinemas 20 Nov 2025
Wicked: For Good. Wicked Movie – Part 2 will be in cinemas this November.
After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked made its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event in November 2024. Now the release date of the second two-part feature film adaptation has been confirmed.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
In the first film we see the two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future.
The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots), and a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman). Jonathan Bailey stars as Prince Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq Woodsman and Marissa Bode as Nessarose Thropp.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked: For Good is the final chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration.
Wicked Part Two will arrive in cinemas on 20 November 2025.
