The first Wicked: For Good trailer promises an explosive finale
Warning: There are Wicked: For Good spoilers in this story.
We're less than six months away from the second installment of the Wicked film series with Wicked: For Good set to hit theaters on November 21, 2025. But fans of the movie musical series got an early look at the sequel — which is the second half of the Broadway musical — with a teaser Tuesday and then when the trailer dropped Wednesday.
The trailer for Wicked: For Good — named after one of the second-half songs, "For Good," by Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) — highlights how the characters have grown from their school days and embraced their largely opposing roles in Oz.
THE SONGS OF WICKED: Ranking every Wicked song from Part One - Where does Defying Gravity land?
Scene clips and cinematography aside, their growth is visually represented and foreshadowed in the trailer as well, ranging from Elphaba, as the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda The Good simply appearing older and more mature to Fiyero and Boq donning costumes hinting at their eventual fates to come.
But the biggest transformation we see between Wicked and the Wicked: For Good trailer is from Nessarose, who becomes the governor of Munchkinland and, eventually, the Wicked Witch of the East. She looks completely different from the Nessarose we saw in Wicked with her hair pulled back and a harsher demeanor.
Wicked: For Good is set to premiere November 21, 2025.
