Universal's long-awaited sequel to the record-breaking film Wicked, titled Wicked: For Good, is set to hit theaters on November 21. However, fans are left wondering when they'll be able to stream the movie at home. Although the studio hasn't announced an official streaming date, the first film's release cycle might provide a hint. Released in November 2024, the original Wicked movie became the highest-grossing Broadway adaptation of all time, earning over $756 million at the global box office. The sequel, directed by Jon Chu, picks up where the first film left off. Elphaba's rise into the air after 'Defying Gravity' marks the beginning of a darker and more intense chapter. According to Chu, if the first part focused on choices, the second installment deals with the consequences. This shift in tone is reflected in the addition of two new songs: 'No Place Like Home' (Cynthia Erivo) and 'The Girl in the Bubble' (Ariana Grande), confirmed by composer Stephen Schwartz. As for streaming, the first Wicked film premiered on Peacock roughly four months after its theatrical debut. If Universal follows a similar pattern, Wicked: For Good might become available online around early 2026. For now, fans can catch an exclusive screening at select theaters, including advanced showings on November 17 and 19. The confirmed cast list for Wicked: For Good includes Ariana Grande as Glinda, Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, and a talented ensemble. Tickets are already on sale through individual theater websites, with premium formats potentially extending beyond opening week. For those eager to experience the sequel, Wicked: For Good: Confirmed cast and ticket details are available online. FAQs: - When will 'Wicked: For Good' start streaming?
