The Confirmed Digital and Physical Release Schedule
For those eager to own the film, Wicked: Part One transitioned quickly from the big screen to home viewing platforms, following the industry standard of a short theatrical window.
- Digital/Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) Release: The film became available for digital purchase or rental on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Vudu on December 31, 2024, in the US. A slightly later release date of January 3, 2025, was confirmed for the UK.

- Peacock Streaming Release Date: Wicked: Part One became available to stream for free for Peacock subscribers on March 21, 2025.
This four-month gap between the theatrical premiere and the streaming debut serves as a strong indicator for when fans can expect the second part to arrive on the platform.
Wicked: For Good (Part Two) — Projected Streaming Timeline
The sequel, Wicked: For Good, which continues the story based on Gregory Maguire’s novel, premiered in theaters on November 21, 2025, exactly one year after the first part. Since the film is still in its initial theatrical run as of this writing, the streaming dates are not yet official but can be accurately projected based on the pattern set by Part One.
Digital and VOD Release Projection
Following the nearly 40-day window from the first film’s theatrical to digital release, the second part will likely follow a similar trajectory, offering an early option for home viewing via rental or purchase.
- Projected Digital/PVOD Release Date: The most likely date for Wicked: For Good to be available on Premium Video on Demand platforms is December 31, 2025. This would make it a perfect New Year’s Eve watch for fans who want to see the conclusion of the story as soon as possible.

- Projected Peacock Streaming Release Date: The film is expected to begin streaming on Peacock on or around March 21, 2026. This date marks almost exactly four months after its cinematic debut, aligning perfectly with Universal’s established streaming strategy for its major releases.
- Streaming Platform Confirmation: Like the first part, Wicked: For Good will stream exclusively on Peacock.
The Cast, Director, and The Future of Oz
The success and high anticipation for the Wicked films are largely driven by the talent both in front of and behind the camera, giving the adaptation significant topical authority beyond just the release dates.
Key Entities and Creative Team
The film adaptation is helmed by director Jon M. Chu, known for his work on other successful musicals like In the Heights. The casting of the two main roles—the unlikely friends Elphaba and Glinda—has been a major talking point since the project was announced, bringing two powerhouse vocalists to the forefront.
- Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp: The Tony, Emmy, and Grammy winner takes on the iconic role of the misunderstood, green-skinned witch.
- Ariana Grande as Glinda Upland: The pop superstar and actress plays the role of the popular and ambitious witch.
- Director: Jon M. Chu
- Other Key Cast Members: The ensemble cast includes Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero.
- Source Material: The films are based on the acclaimed 2003 Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which itself is an adaptation of the 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.
Why the Two-Part Release?
Director Jon M. Chu and the creative team opted to split the story into two films to preserve the depth and complexity of the original stage production. Rather than cutting beloved songs or crucial plot points to fit into one feature film, the two-part structure—Part One focusing on the friendship’s foundation and Part Two (For Good) on its complicated conclusion—allows for a more faithful and detailed adaptation of Elphaba and Glinda’s journey, satisfying both long-time fans of the musical and newcomers to the Land of Oz.
The two-film approach ensures that the narrative arcs, the development of characters like Fiyero, and the themes of friendship, prejudice, and political intrigue are given the necessary screen time. This commitment to the source material is what will ultimately drive the massive streaming viewership for both Part One and Part Two when they finally settle into their permanent home on Peacock.
