Wicked: For Good Sequel Sets November 2025 Global Premiere and Reveals Soundtrack Details

The cinematic sequel to the beloved tale of the two witches of Oz, titled *Wicked: For Good*, is nearing its highly anticipated debut. This feature film, which continues the complex narrative focusing on the origins and relationship between Elphaba and Glinda, is set to kick off its global run with a major world premiere event in São Paulo, Brazil, on November 4, 2025. Following this initial unveiling, Universal Pictures has slated the widespread theatrical release across the United States for November 21, 2025. Audiences will have the chance to experience the movie in premium viewing formats, including both IMAX and Dolby Cinema, ensuring a spectacular visual and auditory experience for the long-awaited continuation of the story.

Returning to helm the project is director Jon M. Chu, who continues to navigate the intricate relationship dynamic between Elphaba, destined to become the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, known as the Good Witch of the North. Reprising their pivotal roles are Cynthia Erivo and pop superstar Ariana Grande. The distinguished cast lineup also features the talents of Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, and Jonathan Bailey, who portrays the character of Prince Fiyero. These performers are tasked with illustrating the profound internal shifts experienced by their characters, demonstrating how external pressures and societal expectations influence their personal decisions and moral compasses, ultimately defining their destinies within the magical Land of Oz.

Significant excitement surrounds the official motion picture soundtrack, which is scheduled for release concurrently with the US theatrical debut on November 21. Stephen Schwartz, the acclaimed composer and lyricist responsible for the original stage score, has enhanced the musical collection by contributing two brand-new compositions that were never part of the original, long-running Broadway stage production. These exclusive tracks include the ballad “No Place Like Home,” sung by Cynthia Erivo, and “The Girl In The Bubble,” featuring the vocal talents of Ariana Grande, offering fans fresh insight into the characters' emotional journeys.

Further additions to the album include an exclusive rendition of the song “The Wicked Witch of the East,” a version that has not been previously released on any original cast recording. Furthermore, the track originally known as “Every Day More Wicked” has been given a revised title, although the core phrase is maintained within the main song of the musical's second act. The overarching narrative of the film delves into Elphaba's struggle: ostracized and demonized by the public, she champions the rights of the oppressed Animals of Oz and attempts to reveal the true, hidden nature of the Wizard. Conversely, Glinda embraces her status as a beacon of Goodness and enjoys widespread fame, a position that requires significant compromise. Their relationship, fractured by personal decisions and intense public scrutiny, ultimately finds a point of convergence, illustrating how their enduring friendship attempts to bridge the vast chasm created by conflicting internal desires and the crushing weight of external demands.
