Ariana Grande's Wicked: For Good is out in cinemas on November 21

The second part of the Wicked movie, Wicked: For Good, is finally arriving in movie theaters worldwide a year after the first one came out.

For Good is set to pick up from the cliffhanger in Wicked, with Elphaba escaping the Wizard of Oz and Madame Morrible. People have moved on and have new distinctions. Glinda has become Glinda the Good, Nessarose is the new mayor of Munchkinland, Madame Morrible and the Wizard have increased their anti-Elphaba campaign, and Glinda is engaged to Fiyero.

In her interview with Good Morning America in February, Cynthia Erivo said that the sequel will see Elphaba and Glinda "step into the decisions that they've made." She said that things will get darker and tougher for them as they go their separate ways.

But besides the story, there are other things to watch out for in the sequel, like Glinda's new song. Ariana Grande teased back in January 2025 about her character's new song in the sequel, which was written by composer Stephen Schwartz. She said that it's a "pivotal moment" in her character's journey. She considers it a "privilege" to be the first Glinda to bring the song to life.
