Babe, Wake Up! The Wicked: For Good Trailer Just Dropped

If you are still holding space for the lyrics of “Defying Gravity,” well, same. Sure, you can stream Wicked on Peacock or rent it on Amazon Prime now, but there’s nothing quite like seeing it in a theater with a whole bunch of other former theater kids who have to hold themselves back from belting out the war cry that closed the film. But recently, a new trailer for Wicked: For Good has dropped to give us a taste of what’s to come and, BRB, I just have to hop on Pinterest to plan the perfect Elphaba-inspired outfit...

We’ve known for a while that Wicked would come to us in two parts, but for those who missed that news it was fairly clear by the end of the film. Elphaba Thropp’s story ended with the first movie, sure, but Elphaba’s story as the Wicked Witch of the West — and Galinda’s transformation to Glinda — was clearly only just beginning. But what will that look like? We have gathered all the details you might be wondering about here — starting with how soon you’ll get your answers about exactly what happens next.

Wicked Part 2 Release Date

If you just can’t wait to find out what happens, you could read the book (maybe not your kid, though) or watch an on-stage production (totally fine for your kid). But if you need to see Cynthia Erivo play out Elphaba’s journey, the second installment of Wicked — Wicked: For Good — is coming to theaters on Nov. 21, 2025. Wicked was released on Nov. 24, 2024, so obviously that’s only about a year between debuts, but both movies were actually filmed at the same time — hence the quick turnaround.

And if that title sounds vaguely familiar, you’re not dreaming it. “For Good” is one of the most iconic songs from the musical. (We even get a taste of it in the trailer!)

What will Wicked: For Good be about?

Just like the play, the Wicked films follow two acts. What we saw in Wicked was Act 1, which ended with Elphaba turning from idolizing the Wizard to taking a brave stand against him. Suffice it to say, things get darker.

We don’t want to spoil everything (though is it a spoiler if the material has been out for more than 20 years...?), but if you can’t wait, you can always look to Act 2 of the musical. OR, you could...

Watch the Wicked: For Good trailer!

If you want a spoiler-free experience, turn back now because, we’ll be honest: there’s a lot more in this trailer than we were necessarily expecting this far out, including snippets of beloved musical numbers and hints at some otherwise un-hinted at plot-twists!

Who will appear in the Wicked: For Good cast?

Because both parts were filmed at once, every actor in the first part will reprise their role in the second. That means more Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Glinda, pining Johnathan Bailey as Fiyero, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and zaddy Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard.

What songs will be included in Wicked: For Good?

Director Jon M. Chu was completely faithful to the song list from Act 1 of Wicked in his film adaptation. If he does the same for Act 2, which seems likely, here’s everything we’ll get to hear:

• “No One Mourns the Wicked” (Reprise)
• “Thank Goodness”
• “The Wicked Witch of the East”
• “Wonderful”
• “I’m Not That Girl” (Reprise)
• “As Long As You’re Mine”
• “No Good Deed”
• “March of the Witch Hunters”
• “For Good”
• “Finale”

So, will you be painting yourself green or donning all the pink to head to this year’s Wicked premiere? We can’t wait to see what finger-holding memes come out of yet another Grande-Erivo press tour.
