Wicked: For Good Poster Promises ‘You Will Be Changed'
Wicked, also known as Wicked: Part I, was released in United States theaters in November 2024. The film was immediately a massive hit and became the fifth-highest-grossing movie of 2024, making $744.2 million at the global box office.
Wicked adapts the first act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman. A sequel, Wicked: For Good, is dated for November 2025 and will adapt the second half.
The first poster for Wicked: For Good has been spotted at CinemaCon. It sees Ariana Grande's Glinda and Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba looking at one another while standing on opposing sides of the Yellow Brick Road.
Check out the poster, via an X post from The Hollywood Reporter, below:
The 'will be changed' quote is a reference to the 'For Good' duet featured in the second act of Wicked. In the play, Glinda and Elphaba perform the song after Elphaba realizes that the citizens of Oz are on their way to arrest, or potentially kill, her. Glinda tries to warn her of the forthcoming danger and the two share a moment where they say goodbye to one another, noting that they've both 'been changed for good' because of their friendship.
The film is once again directed by Jon M. Chu. Also returning for the sequel alongside Erivo and Grande are Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero Tigelaar, Ethan Slater as Boq Woodsman, Marissa Bode as Nessarose Thropp, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Wicked: For Good will be released in United States theaters on November 21, 2025, from Universal Pictures. The first Wicked movie, meanwhile, is now available to stream on Peacock.

'The Traitors' is opening its doors to everyday people. Here's how you can join the TV competition
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. version of ' The Traitors ' has brought a group of public figures to a castle in the Scottish Highlands for a game of deceit, with hundreds of thousands of dollars up for grabs. Now, the Emmy award-winning competition will open its doors to everyday people. NBC is now casting for a civilian version of the popular Peacock series, the network announced Thursday. The competition reality series, an American spin-off to its British counterpart, had only cast celebrities for its first three seasons, the last of which aired early this year. The new version will bring a group of everyday people together to play what the host, Alan Cumming, called his 'treacherous game' in a video announcing the public casting. Cumming is set to host the new version as well, with production for the show starting in 2026, according to the network. Those who are interested in participating can apply now on the show's website. The fourth season of the celebrity version is set to launch next year, and a fifth season has already been confirmed. The star-studded cast for season 4, announced in June, includes reality stars from 'Love Island,' 'Big Brother' and 'Survivor.' 'We're thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable – and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers,' Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers of both the Peacock and NBC versions, said in a statement. The show features a group of contestants who participate in a murder mystery game similar to Clue or Mafia. A subset of the cast are secretly labeled as traitors and must work together to eliminate the other contestants, who are considered faithfuls. On the line is a prize fund worth up to $250,000. If the faithful manage to eliminate all the traitors, then they share the money. But, if a traitor makes it to the end, they take it all. The British version uses the same location and has used civilian contestants from the start. Casting everyday people will allow complete strangers to meet for the first time, a 'unique opportunity' that 'will be an incredible watch,' said Sharon Vuong, the executive vice president of unscripted programming at NBCUniversal Entertainment. "This new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch,' Vuong said in a statement. The psychological adventure has found reality TV gold, and its third season premiered as the No. 1 unscripted series in the U.S., according to a release by NBC. The show also recently received five Emmy nominations for season three and previously took home two of the awards for season two.

The Traitors Announces All-Civilian Version to Air on NBC — Apply Now!
The Traitors fans, now's your chance to do a little backstabbing of your own. NBC will air an all-civilian version of the hit reality competition, TVLine has learned. Typically, The Traitors — which airs on streamer Peacock — features celebrities competing for the cash prize, but this time, ordinary fans will play the game, with Alan Cumming returning as host. (Other international versions of The Traitors, including the UK and Australia, feature everyday people as contestants.) More from TVLine Casting News: St. Denis Medical Pages Ariana Madix, Boyd Holbrook Joins Extraction and More Exiting Chicago Fire Star Daniel Kyri Says Emotional Goodbye to His Character Darren Ritter: 'You Made History' Jon Miyahara, Superstore's Silent Scene Stealer, Dead at 83 Filming on the NBC version will get underway next year; those interested in applying to be a contestant can do so at 'We are looking for smart, strategic everyday people to compete in the ultimate game of trust & treachery,' the website says, with a chance to win up to $250,000. 'We're excited to bring along The Traitors' highly addictive fan base as we discover the next generation of legendary gamers and schemers,' NBCUniversal Entertainment executive vice president of unscripted programming Sharon Vuong said in a statement. 'With our resident host and gameplay master of ceremonies, Alan Cumming, on board to introduce complete strangers to new epic missions and twisted gameplay, this new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch.' For those uninitiated, The Traitors brings its players to a remote Scottish castle, where a small number of them are secretly designated 'traitors,' tasked with 'murdering,' or eliminating from the game, one of their fellow players each night. But the other players, dubbed the 'faithful,' can get rid of the traitors by voting out one of their own each night at the round table. At the end of the game, if the faithful get rid of all the traitors, they split the cash prize — but if even one traitor remains, they take home all the money. Debuting in the Netherlands in 2021, The Traitors has spawned more than 30 (!) international editions, with the U.S. version bowing on Peacock in 2023. The first season mixed reality TV celebrities like Survivor alum Cirie Fields with everyday people, but the subsequent two seasons have been all celebrities. The show has become a runaway hit for Peacock, winning the Emmy last year for best reality competition. Season 4 of The Traitors is expected to air on Peacock early next year — with a cast including former Real Housewife Lisa Rinna, actor Michael Rapaport and football mom Donna Kelce — and the show has already been renewed for a fifth season.
