Where you can watch Wicked at home ahead of the Wicked: For Good sequel
Defy gravity at home and watch the blockbuster smash-hit on these streaming platforms
The much-anticipated sequel to Wicked is nearly here. Early screenings of Wicked: For Good have already won it critical acclaim – and even predicted Oscar’s recognition. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the Broadway adaptation tells the heartwarming story of two young witches as they navigate their way through university and learn about true friendship.
Later known as the Wicked Witch of The West, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), is a green-hued extraordinary witch who faces obstacles because of her differences. While studying, she forms an unbreakable bond with her former enemy, Glinda (Ariana Grande). The opposite of Elphaba, she’s popular, loved and blonde.
Wicked: For Good picks up where the first movie left off. Elphaba is now a fugitive and continuing her fight for animal rights, while Glinda is reluctantly elevated to a public role as “Glinda the Good”, using her platform to sully the reputation of Elphaba. The two witches’ troubled relationship reaches its crescendo when Dorothy arrives in Oz in a tornado.
If you’re gearing up to watch Wicked: For Good at the cinema, you might want to refresh your memory with the first movie (and sing your heart out in the comfort of your own home). The good news is that you can easily stream it – here’s how.

The sequel will feature all of the musical’s big hits – plus two new songs by the original composer Stephen Schwartz. Alongside Grande and Erivo, the movie stars Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Peter Dinklage and Marissa Bode. With a run time of two hours 14 minutes, the new film is shorter than the first movie – arriving in cinemas on 21 November.
