Meanwhile, a storm signals the arrival of Dorothy Gale, who begins her journey to the Emerald City.

THE FILM
And now, whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend …
Last year’s global cinematic cultural sensation, which became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, now reaches its epic, electrifying, emotional conclusion in Wicked: For Good.
Directed once again by award-winning director Jon M. Chu and starring the spectacular returning cast, led by Academy Award® nominated superstars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and living with the consequences of their choices.
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), 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 (Jeff Goldblum).
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. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
CAST & CREW
Director Jon M. Chu has assembled a fantastic cast to bring this magical sequel to the screen. The cast includes Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz. Rounding out the cast are Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut.
In my review of the first film, I said: “Jon M. Chu’s Wicked is a dazzling visual spectacle that works wonders with its material but falls short of brilliance. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-Butera deliver powerhouse performances that overcome some truly eye-rolling dialogue to whisk us back to Oz with a musical blast. The cinematography is breathtaking, the score is superb, and the musical numbers are flawless. However, fans of the original movie will be put off by the narrative changes that cast an unfavorable light on some of the IP’s legacy characters.” Read my full review here.
RELEASE
The sequel appears to be an amazing musical adventure that’ll take us back to the magical land of Oz. On the strength of this phenomenal new trailer, we can’t wait to hit the Yellow Brick Road and dive into the magic of Oz again. Whether it’s “Wicked” or not doesn’t really matter!
Wicked For Good will sprinkle UK cinemas with magic on November 21, 2025. Did you enjoy the final trailer? Drop a comment in the chat below.
