Six key facts, one takeaway: the sequel’s release date is locked, but home-viewing plans remain fluid. Here’s what’s confirmed on paper.

When is Wicked 2 coming out?

Mark your calendars: Wicked: For Good — also referred to as Wicked Part Two — hits US theaters on November 21, 2025. The official title, confirmed by the Wicked official movie site (Universal Pictures), signals the second half of the story’s arc. It is a theatrical exclusive; no streaming date has been announced alongside the release.

When is Wicked 2 coming out in the UK?

UK audiences share the same premiere date. According to ODEON Cinemas (UK/Ireland cinema chain), Wicked: For Good opens in UK theaters on November 21, 2025. Irish cinemas list the same date, making it a simultaneous transatlantic launch.

When is Wicked 2 coming out on Netflix?

No Netflix release date has been announced. Universal Pictures holds the rights, and the current plan is a theatrical window followed by a Peacock streaming debut (NBCUniversal’s platform). Peacock (streaming platform) states the film will stream exclusively on Peacock in the US; Netflix is not in the picture at this time.

The implication: the theatrical window is fixed, but home-viewing plans remain contingent on Peacock’s timeline.

When can I watch Wicked 2 at home?

Home viewing typically arrives 2–3 months after the theatrical release. JustWatch (availability tracker) shows the film is not yet available for streaming, purchase, or rental in the US. The official movie site (Universal Pictures) lists digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray as “on sale now” — but that refers to pre-order windows for the first part, not the sequel. Amazon News (entertainment division) confirms that starting March 20, 2026, fans can stream Wicked: For Good on Prime Video with a Peacock Premium Plus subscription.

Can you watch Wicked 2 at home on Prime?

Yes — but only via a Peacock Premium Plus subscription through Prime Video, beginning March 20, 2026. Direct purchase and rental options are also expected earlier, likely between January and February 2026. Amazon News lists the buy price at $29.99 and the rent price at $19.99 on Prime Video.

The catch: the Prime Video route requires a Peacock Premium Plus add-on, adding cost for viewers without that tier.

Will Wicked Part 2 have Dorothy?

Yes — Dorothy appears in Wicked: For Good, but her face is never shown. ELLE (culture magazine) confirmed that the filmmaker chose to keep Dorothy faceless to preserve the audience’s perspective: we are meant to see her through the eyes of Elphaba and Glinda, not as a full-fledged character. This creative choice matches the stage musical, where Dorothy is heard but rarely seen.

Who is playing Dorothy in Wicked Part 2?

No actress has been publicly named for Dorothy’s part. London Theatre (West End coverage) reports that the role is intentionally left uncast in promotional materials; if an actress is involved, her face will not be shown on screen. The decision underscores the narrative focus on the witches rather than the girl from Kansas.

What this means: viewers expecting a traditional Dorothy reveal will likely be left with the same faceless portrayal from the stage.

Why can’t Glinda do magic?

Glinda is the Good Witch, but her “magic” is social influence, not sorcery. In the Wicked musical, Glinda’s spells are limited to charms and persuasion — she never conjures fire or levitates objects. Vocal Media (fan analysis) explains that Glinda’s power comes from status, popularity, and bargaining, not from any innate magical ability. This contrast with Elphaba’s raw, untamed magic is a core theme of the story.

The pattern: Glinda embodies soft power — influence through alliances and charisma — while Elphaba wields hard magic. That dichotomy is central to the sequel’s conflict.

Are Glinda and Boq dating in real life?

Yes. Theatrely (theatre news site) reports that Ariana Grande (Glinda) and Ethan Slater (Boq) are in a real-life relationship. The article documents seven romantic connections formed during the production, including other cast pairings. The Grande–Slater relationship has been covered by multiple outlets; it began during filming of the Wicked movies.

Timeline: Key dates for Wicked: For Good

• 2003 — Wicked musical premieres on Broadway (Wikipedia – musical history)
• 2021 — Two-part film adaptation announced (Wikipedia – film database)
• November 22, 2024 — Wicked Part One released (Business Insider – entertainment coverage)
• November 21, 2025 — Wicked: For Good scheduled release (Wikipedia – film database)

Why this timeline matters: the five‑year gap between announcement and finale reflects the scale of the adaptation — the same creative team built two films simultaneously, a rare production strategy for a musical.

What’s confirmed vs. what’s still unknown

The takeaway: the confirmed list outweighs the unknowns, but home-viewing details remain the biggest gap.

What the experts and sources are saying

The decision to keep Dorothy’s face hidden was intentional to maintain the audience’s perspective — we see her through the witches’ eyes, not as a separate character.

For fans who simply want the next chapter of Elphaba and Glinda’s story, the choice is clear: see it in theaters on November 21, 2025, or wait until early 2026 for a streaming option. Universal Pictures has designed the sequel to avoid a visible Dorothy and a Netflix release, so fans expecting those elements may be disappointed — and the narrative design behind those choices is part of what makes Wicked: For Good a deliberate, artist-driven sequel.
