Wicked Sequel Trailer Released, Film Debuts November 21

The sequel to the hit musical film Wicked, titled Wicked: For Good, is set to release on November 21, continuing the story of Elphaba and Glinda after their split at the end of the first film. The movie, directed by Jon M. Chu and starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, explores Elphaba’s rebellion against the Wizard of Oz and Glinda’s role as a symbol of goodness, introducing new characters like Dorothy and bringing back familiar ones including Fiyero and Madame Morrible. Filmed simultaneously with the first installment, the sequel features two new songs and promises a more complex and emotionally charged narrative, focusing on the consequences of the characters' choices. Wicked was a major commercial and critical success, becoming the highest-grossing musical film adaptation ever and winning two Oscars. The chemistry between Erivo and Grande, both on- and off-screen, has been widely praised, and the film aims to build on that dynamic while expanding the story's scope. Fans can expect a darker, messier second act with new musical additions and pivotal moments that deepen the relationship between Elphaba and Glinda.
