The magic of the Broadway musical Wicked continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Directed by Jon M. Chu, this recent musical adaptation stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in lead roles. The first film, released last week, has already gone viral. It marked a historic debut, registering the highest opening for a musical adaptation with $114 million at the domestic box office. As fans enjoy the success of Wicked: Part One, they are impatiently awaiting the next instalment.
The makers have officially announced that Wicked: Part Two will hit theatres on November 21, 2025. This means audiences will have to wait almost a year to return to Oz’s magical munchkin land. The sequel will continue the story of the witches of Oz, exploring the evolving relationship between Galinda, played by Ariana Grande, and Elphaba, portrayed by Cynthia Erivo. Galinda, known as the Good Witch, and Elphaba, famously the Wicked Witch of the West. Both of them have been central to this captivating narrative.

Wicked is based on Stephen Schwartz’s popular musical, adapted from Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel. The story takes viewers behind the scenes of the beloved Wizard of Oz, offering a fresh perspective on how Elphaba became the feared Wicked Witch. The first part beautifully sets the stage, and fans can expect the sequel to show more of the emotional and magical complexities of Oz.
