The wait is almost over! The first full trailer for 'Wicked: For Good' was released on June 4, 2025, giving fans a sneak peek into the adaptation of the original Broadway show's second act. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will both reprise their roles as Glinda and Elphaba, respectively.

Why is Wicked in two parts?

Screenwriter Winnie Holzman told ScreenRant in November 2024 that there were "long conversations" between her, director Jon M. Chu, composer Stephen Schwartz, and producer Marc Platt about whether or not to split Wicked into two parts. Eventually, they all agreed there was "too much story for one movie."

What is Wicked: For Good about?

Wicked: For Good is expected to follow a similar plot structure as the Broadway musical. The first Wicked movie is a prequel to the 1939 Judy Garland movie The Wizard of Oz, while the second details the same events of the film but from the perspective of Elphaba.

According to the movie's official logline (per Variety), the sequel will "cover the events of the musical's second act, following Elphaba and Glinda's friendship being put to the test as they embrace their new respective identities as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch of the North, and how the consequences of their actions will change all of Oz forever."
