Following Wicked’s blockbuster release last year, there’s a ton of excitement brewing for Part 2 of the fantasy movie musical starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. The official Wicked: For Good trailer is coming out today, June 4, but there’s only one way to watch it before it’s released to the public.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the Wicked films are based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical “Wicked,” which itself was inspired by Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel reimagining the iconic characters from The Wizard of Oz. The movie was split into two parts; Wicked: Part One was released on Nov. 22, 2024, while the second part, later renamed Wicked: For Good, will debut later in 2025.

When Will Wicked: For Good Be Released Online?

After moviegoers get the first look at the trailer in theaters, the Wicked: For Good trailer will be available to watch online. (We’ll link it here once it’s live.)

When Is Wicked: For Good Coming Out?

Wicked: For Good will premiere in theaters on Nov. 21, 2025 – almost exactly one year after the release of the first film.

What Will Wicked: For Good Be About?

Wicked: For Good picks up after the events of Part One, where Elphaba and Glinda discover that the Wizard is a fraud, and Elphaba is declared the new enemy of Oz.

The next chapter will focus on the lead-up to The Wizard of Oz, including how Elphaba becomes the Wicked Witch of the West and how Glinda becomes the Good Witch. “In full control of her powers, Elphaba is declared an enemy of the state by the Wizard and Madame Morrible,” the synopsis reads.

When Was Wicked: For Good Filmed?

Wicked: For Good was filmed back-to-back with Wicked: Part One from December 2022 to July 2023, with production wrapping in January 2024 due to delays caused by the Hollywood strikes.

Director Jon M. Chu confirmed to Deadline that he edited both parts side by side ahead of the first film’s release.

“I cut both of them at the same time last year so I could watch both of them back to back, and wait til that happens. It’s a doozy to see both,” he said. “I put it to bed. I needed to know that every scene in one had an intention for two, and we put that to bed, and I just opened it up last week. We’re tweaking and doing all the things.”

It’s currently unknown how long the sequel will be. The first cut for Wicked: Part One was close to four hours long before it was edited down to 2 hours and 40 minutes.

What Songs Will Be Featured In Wicked: For Good?

Wicked: For Good is expected to feature beloved hits from the second half of the Broadway musical, including “As Long As You’re Mine” and “For Good.” However, viewers will also get to hear two new songs written specifically for the films, composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz confirmed to The Messenger in December 2024.

“The storytelling required it, and therefore they were created,” Schwartz said of the additions. “The intention was that they were organic and not imposed on the movie.”

Erivo later revealed that one of the new songs will be sung by Elphaba – and that she had a hand in co-writing it. “I don’t know if you’re ready for it,” the actress said on Variety‘s Awards Circuit podcast. “I feel like the song is very, very special. I have a feeling that even the title will move you.”

Here are some of the songs you can expect to hear in Wicked: For Good.

  • “Thank Goodness” Sung by Glinda, Madame Morrible and Citizens of Oz
  • “The Wicked Witch of the East” by Elphaba, Nessarose and Boq
  • “Wonderful” by The Wizard and Elphaba
  • “I’m Not That Girl (Reprise)” by Glinda
  • “As Long As You’re Mine” by Elphaba and Fiyero
  • “No Good Deed” by Elphaba
  • “March of the Witch Hunters” by Boq and Ozians
  • “For Good” by Glinda and Elphaba
  • Finale Song
