"Wicked" earned $756 million at the global box office, making it the most profitable Broadway film adaptation of all time. It hit $473 million in the U.S. alone, a higher domestic gross than any film that has come out since its release on Nov. 22, 2024. It was also a major player during awards season, picking up 10 Oscar nominations including best picture. At the Oscars, the British Film Academy Awards and the Critics' Choice Awards, the film took home prizes for both costume and production design, and at the Golden Globes, it won in the cinematic and box office achievement category.
Directed by Jon M. Chu, "Wicked" and "Wicked: For Good" star Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. Per the official description, the sequel seems them "estranged and living with the consequences of their choices. When a girl from Kansas comes crashing into their lives, they will need to come together one final time, and truly see each other, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good."
Along with Erivo and Grande, the cast includes Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, with Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum. Marc Platt and David Stone, who produced the original Broadway musical, also produce the films.
On Nov. 6, NBC will air "Wicked: One Wonderful Night," a two-hour musical special starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande singing music from the films alongside their castmates. The special will also feature cast interviews and behind-the-scenes moments sneak peeks.
