Wicked: For Good releases in theaters on Friday, continuing the classic story of Elphaba and Glinda in Oz.

The movie, which centers on the second half of the Broadway play as Elphaba becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the West, is returning with much fanfare, and many are curious about where they can watch the movie on streaming platforms.

Why It Matters

Wicked grossed roughly $1.85 billion worldwide and has become known as the highest-grossing musical adaptation of all time.

This means its sequel will likely draw in many viewers, both in theaters and amongst those who prefer streaming services.

What To KnowWhen is ‘Wicked: For Good’ Released in Theaters? 

Wicked: For Good will be released on Friday, November 21.

The highly anticipated sequel will be playing in a variety of formats, including RealD 3D, IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, ScreenX, and D-Box. 

When is ‘Wicked: For Good’ Available on Streaming Platforms? 

Fans of ‘Wicked’ will likely have to wait 90 days to watch the new movie on Peacock, as the standard timeline is 90 days after the release.

However, because the first ‘Wicked’ was delayed longer, at 119 days, before it went to Peacock, fans might have to wait even more time. That gives it a likely timeline of February.

When is ‘Wicked: For Good’ Free to Stream? 

It’s unclear when exactly Wicked: For Good will become available to stream for free. The first Wicked movie was on preorder by December 2024, a month after its release, but didn’t become available for streaming on Peacock until March.

The Wicked website said in its sequel description: “Elphaba, now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard. Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity.”

Newsweek reporter Billie Melissa wrote: “As much as it is a magnificent, entertaining spectacle, it also holds a deep truth about the world we live in. With propaganda reigning over us and lines of division growing deeper, Wicked: For Good arrives as both a mirror and a warning. It shows us who we are and who we can be, which is why Grande’s Glinda and Erivo’s Elphaba are key to the film’s success.”

What Happens Next

Wicked: For Good will be shown in theaters on  Friday, November 21.

The first movie earned 10 Oscar nominations, and it remains to be seen how the sequel is received by viewers and critics alike.
