All Wicked fans, assemble. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo may have won our hearts and minds with their red carpet looks and amazing Wicked performances. But be warned: the 2024 movie only covers the first half of the stage show’s story (despite having the same runtime as the entire stage show combined). Fans will be treated to a Wicked part 2 as well, to complete the cinematic story.

And now, we have an update! A joint Instagram post from stars Ariana, Cynthia, director Jon M Chu and the official Wicked Instagram account confirmed that part 2 will be named Wicked: For Good.

The post reads: “You will be changed. Wicked: For Good, only in theatres November 21, 2025.💚🩷,”

For Good is a perfect addition to the movie’s name for its second part, as it’s the name of the big emotional song performed by Elphaba and Glinda in the second half of the stage show – it’s all about female friendship and what they mean to each other. Tissues at the ready for when we watch Ari and Cynthia perform this.

So why was Wicked split into two parts? Well, director Jon M Chu and producer Marc Platt have said it was because they didn’t want to cut songs or characters to fit the story into one movie.

So, a little bit like the stage show, the movie will be split into two halves. We’ve got a while to wait for the second instalment, though.

Here’s everything else we know about Wicked part 2.

Wicked part 2 release date

Sadly, we’ll have to wait a whole year until chapter two of the Wicked movie series drops. The release date for Wicked 2 is Friday 21 November 2025.
