About Wicked: For Good

Wicked: For Good picks up after Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba is labelled the Wicked Witch of the West. On the run, she fights for Oz’s silenced Animals. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande’s Glinda basks in her new role as the dazzling symbol of Goodness in Emerald City.

Director Jon M. Chu once again leads the charge, with a screenplay adapted by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. The film follows the blockbuster Wicked: Part 1, which shattered records in 2024 and bagged two Oscars from ten nominations at the 2025 Academy Awards.
