For those who binged the first Wicked film last November and fell head-over-heels for Cynthia Erivo¡¯s fierce Elphaba and Ariana Grande¡¯s dazzling Glinda, the wait has been worth it. The sequel picks up years later, right after Elphaba stormed out of Oz, still branded a ¡°wicked witch¡± by her former mentor, Madame Morrible (the incredible Michele Yeoh). Tensions are high, the magic is stronger, and the drama? Definitely crazy!

About Wicked: For Good

Director Jon M. Chu, alongside screenwriter Winnie Holzman and composer Stephen Schwartz, revealed they split the Wicked adaptation into two films after realising the story could not be contained in a single movie. They wanted to dive deeper into the characters¡¯ lives, keeping every iconic song, and even adding new ones. Chu and his team were committed to delivering the full Oz experience, no cuts, no compromises.

Filming for both parts wrapped up simultaneously back in January 2024. Erivo marked the milestone with a fierce Instagram post showing a silhouette of her on a broomstick, captioning it: ¡°That¡¯s a wrap for me, Elphie out!!¡± The excitement was palpable, and now fans can finally see where this magic train is headed.
