00:00Just when you thought Wicked couldn't get any more magical, Universal Pictures has brought in a new surprise.
00:06As Wicked continues to fly at the box office and build the anticipation of reaching the Oscar nominations,
00:12Universal has made a title change to the second half of John M's Broadway adaptation, which is set for release next year.
00:21The second installment of Wicked will officially be called Wicked For Good,
00:26and it's already setting fans' hearts aflutter ahead of its November 21, 2025 release.
00:31Wicked For Good is more than just a title.
00:34It is a beloved duet from the Wicked Broadway musical, a moment that defines friendship, forgiveness and change.
00:42The film's significant actress Ariana Grande shared the announcement video on her official Instagram handle recently and wrote,
00:50You will be changed. Wicked For Good. Only in theatres November 21, 2025.
00:57Through four weekends in theatres, Wicked has grossed $525 million at the global box office,
01:03including $359 million in North America itself.
01:07This is enough to become the highest-grossing Broadway film adaptation of all time.
01:13Both the parts of the films are inspired by Gregory's 1995 novel Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.
01:21The book offers a fresh perspective on the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West and her former friendship with Glinda, the Good Witch.
