On November 21, 2025, audiences will be invited to journey back to the Land of Oz with the release of Wicked: For Good, the sequel to 2024's Wicked. Distributed by Universal Pictures India and Warner Bros. Discovery, the film stars Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey.
In Wicked: For Good, Glinda stands at the center of Oz's fragile new order, elevated as the people's radiant figure of hope. However, she must privately confront the loneliness of leadership as her once-unbreakable friendship with Elphaba fractures under the strain of divided loyalties. As Glinda struggles to uphold her image as "Glinda the Good," she begins to question what true goodness means in a land where truth is often silenced by propaganda and fear.
The two-film journey allows Ariana Grande to trace the full emotional arc of Glinda, a character whose light and depth have come to define one of Grande's most powerful performances yet. Through music and visuals, Wicked: For Good explores the question: What does it mean to be "good" when perfection is the only expectation?
