Video: New WICKED: FOR GOOD Featurette Teases Grand Conclusion of Film Adaptation

The stakes have been raised in a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Wicked: For Good. The video, featuring commentary by director Jon M. Chu, producer Marc Platt and actors Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, teases the grand conclusion of the two-part film adaptation.

"Love stories usually have a definitive ending, which is happily ever after," explains the director. "But friendships are waves you go through that are both good and bad. It's a harder narrative thing to portray and I love that." Check out the featurette, which includes behind-the-scenes shots and some new footage from the film.

Wicked: For Good picks up after the 2024 blockbuster. Elphaba, now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard. 

Wicked: For Good will hit theaters on November 21, 2025, and stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Glinda, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Ethan Slater as Boq, and Marissa Bode as Nessarose. Other cast members include Tony-nominee Colman Domingo as the voice of the Cowardly Lion and Sharon D. Clarke (Caroline, or Change) as the voice of Elphaba’s childhood nanny, Dulcibear.

Wicked: For Good is based on Act Two of the musical stage play with music and lyrics by composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, from the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire.
