Wicked Part 2 set for November 2025 release as filming wraps up
"Wicked Part 2" is set to be released on November 21, 2025, nearly a year after the first part. The sequel continues Elphaba's story in Oz and was filmed alongside the first movie. Filming for both parts began in December 2022 but paused in July 2023 due to industry strikes. It resumed in January 2024, with production now in post-production. The main cast, including Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, will return. The sequel will feature songs from the second act of the original musical, such as "Thank Goodness" and "For Good."
