Wicked took the internet by storm in 2024 by reimagining the story of the two unlikely friends, Elphaba and Glinda, which was first told in the 2003 Broadway Musical. The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, explores themes of empowerment and identity. It became a huge success, received several accolades, and ultimately became a cultural phenomenon. However, the story that began in the 2024 film concluded without answering many questions, which is why fans eagerly await the second film, Wicked: For Good. So, when will it be released, or what will the story be about? Here are all the details about the sequel, including trailer, release date, cast, and more.
When Is Wicked: For Good Coming Out?
Wicked: For Good will be released on November 21, 2025, exactly one year after the first film. Well, the film was initially planned for release on November 26, 2025, but was later shifted, likely to avoid a release date clash with films like Zootopia 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash.

What Will Be Wicked: For Good Story About?
Elphaba and Glinda don’t share the bond they once did. Their relationship was fractured after the events of the first film, and both of them have decided to walk on different paths. While Elphaba has started to embrace her powers and is being called the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda has become a spokeswoman and is living a luxurious life. Their choices lead to some horrible chain of events. For instance, Elphaba is hunted down by the Wizard, especially by their flying monkeys. On the other hand, Glinda confronts her inner demons, and she must decide whether to prioritize her friendship or her alliance with Oz.
