Wicked Part 2 release date
Wicked Part 2 will arrive on November 21, 2025. That's almost exactly a year after the first movie released on November 22, 2024.
Wicked Part 2 trailer: when will we get one?
The first teaser trailer for Wicked arrived in February 2024, with the first full length trailer landing in May. Since we're now in March and there's no footage for Part 2, we can assume that we might see a full length trailer arrive this May to match Part 1's schedule. But, there's still a chance a shorter teaser might arrive before then – watch this space.
Wicked Part 2 cast
The Wicked Part 2 cast will see the return of all the major players from Part 1:
- Cynthia Erivo – Elphaba
- Ariana Grande – Glinda
- Jonathan Bailey – Fiyero
- Jeff Goldblum – the Wizard of Oz
- Michelle Yeoh – Madame Morrible
- Marissa Bode – Nessarose
- Ethan Slater – Boq
- Peter Dinklage – Doctor Dillamond
Wicked Part 2 plot
The Wicked Part 2 plot will be familiar to fans of the Broadway musical, since it's an adaptation of Act 2. Judging by how faithfully Part 1 adapted Act 1, we can assume this one will also follow the storyline more or less exactly again. What we do know, though, that there are set to be two new original songs, as well as the Broadway songs we know and love (the title is taken from "For Good," a real tearjerker).
We won't spoil the whole plot here, but anyone who knows their Wizard of Oz will have an idea at where the story is headed. Expect to see the fallout of Elphaba's big 'Defying Gravity' choice, Glinda in her new role as Glinda the Good, and more love triangle drama between her, Elphaba, and Fiyero. Plus, a certain young girl from Kansas will be making an appearance, silver slippers and all…
