🌪️ Wicked: For Good (2025) – Cast, Plot, Release Date, Review & Where to Watch | The Final Chapter of Oz’s Untold Story

✨ “And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend …”

The green curtain rises one last time. After enchanting audiences worldwide and becoming the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, the saga of Elphaba and Glinda reaches its electrifying conclusion in Wicked: For Good. Directed by visionary filmmaker Jon M. Chu, this epic finale lands in cinemas November 21, 2025, bringing back a dazzling cast led by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

🎭 A Tale of Friendship, Choices, and Fate

At its heart, Wicked has always been a story about friendship tested by power, love, and destiny. In Wicked: For Good, we find Elphaba (Erivo), demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, living in exile and fighting to free the silenced Animals of Oz. On the other side, Glinda (Grande) thrives as the radiant “Good Witch,” adored by the people of Emerald City while serving under Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh).

But fame and duty weigh heavily on Glinda, especially as she prepares for a lavish royal wedding to Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey). Deep down, she remains haunted by the rift with Elphaba. As tensions rise and a girl from Kansas arrives to shift the course of Oz, the two witches must confront their fractured bond and decide if they can stand together—for good.

🌟 The Returning Cast of Oz

The magic continues with a powerhouse ensemble:

• Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba – fierce, vulnerable, and unyielding.

• Ariana Grande as Glinda – effervescent yet conflicted.

• Jonathan Bailey as Prince Fiyero – caught between love and loyalty.

• Ethan Slater as Boq – whose fate takes a dark turn.

• Marissa Bode as Nessarose – Elphaba’s sister, trapped by destiny.

• Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible – ever manipulative.

• Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard – a smiling mask hiding corruption.

The film also features Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, and Sharon D. Clarke in key supporting roles, enriching the world of Oz with humor, heart, and tragedy.

🎬 From Stage to Screen – A Cultural Phenomenon

Following the triumph of Wicked (2024), which grossed over $750 million worldwide and earned 10 Academy Award® nominations, anticipation for this sequel is sky-high. With music and lyrics by the legendary Stephen Schwartz and a screenplay by Winnie Holzman & Dana Fox, Wicked: For Good promises to blend unforgettable songs, breathtaking spectacle, and raw emotion into a finale that will leave audiences spellbound.

Composer John Powell joins Schwartz to deliver a sweeping score that bridges the familiar melodies of Broadway with cinematic grandeur. Expect tears, goosebumps, and applause as Oz’s greatest friendship is tested to its breaking point.

💚 Why This Finale Matters

This is more than just a sequel—it’s the culmination of a generation-defining story. Elphaba and Glinda’s journey speaks to outsiders, dreamers, and anyone who has ever wondered what it means to choose between who you are and who the world wants you to be.

As the mob rises against the Wicked Witch and Glinda shines in her golden tower, the question remains: will they see each other honestly, with empathy, before it’s too late?

The answer awaits this November 21 when Wicked: For Good takes flight in cinemas worldwide.

✨ Final Note: The world of Oz may never be the same again, but as Glinda once sang, “Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.”
