Wicked: For Good, Universal’s epic musical conclusion to the untold story of the witches of Oz, is officially heading to digital streaming platforms with a confirmed late-2025 home release date. The film, which continues the saga of Elphaba and Glinda as an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, will roll out on PVOD and digital services in the U.S. shortly after its record-breaking theatrical run.
What is Wicked: For Good About?
Set in the fantastical land of Oz, Wicked: For Good finds Elphaba and Glinda estranged, each living with the consequences of their choices as the world brands one wicked and the other a glamorous symbol of goodness. Elphaba, now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile and continues her fight to expose the Wizard, while Glinda basks in fame and popularity as the public face of virtue.
Their paths collide again when a girl from Kansas literally crashes into their lives, forcing the two former friends to confront their shared past. With their singular bond now the fulcrum of Oz’s future, they must truly see one another—with honesty and empathy—if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
Directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox, the film adapts the generation-defining stage musical (itself based on Gregory Maguire’s novel) into a lavish cinematic spectacle. The star-studded cast includes Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum, bringing iconic characters and new songs to life on screen.
Where to Watch Wicked: For Good Online?
Following its U.S. theatrical release on November 21, 2025, Wicked: For Good is set for a premium VOD/digital release on December 30, 2025, when it will arrive on major digital platforms. You can now rent the film here for $19.99 or buy it with extra footage for 29.99$.
This digital rollout comes after the film debuted at number one at the global box office, earning an impressive 223 million dollars worldwide and surpassing Part One as the biggest opening ever for a Broadway musical adaptation. With strong audience reception—an “A” Cinemascore and a 95% Rotten Tomatoes audience score—the PVOD release is positioned as the first chance for many fans to revisit Oz from home.
When and Where Will Wicked: For Good Stream?
As of now, a specific subscription streaming platform (such as Netflix, Peacock, or another major service) has not been named in the studio’s PVOD and home-entertainment announcement. The current focus is on the digital purchase/rental window, which begins December 30, 2025, followed by a robust physical media rollout rather than an immediate streaming-subscription debut.
What is confirmed is that Wicked: For Good will arrive on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 20, 2026, complete with multiple bonus features and an exclusive sing-along version at participating retailers. A later move to a subscription streaming library is likely after these windows, but timing and platform details have not yet been officially revealed.
Home Release & Bonus Features
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is treating Wicked: For Good as a major event title, offering two versions of the movie on digital— including an exclusive sing-along edition for fans who want to belt along with Elphaba and Glinda. The home release also includes over one hour of bonus content, designed to deepen the experience for devotees of the musical and newcomers alike.
Among the announced extras are deleted scenes such as “Brick Making,” a musical montage of Munchkins building the Yellow Brick Road, and “Glinda Train Tour,” which follows Glinda’s departure from Emerald City amid musical fanfare. Featurettes like “Making Wicked: For Good,” “The True Wizard,” “More Than Just a Place,” “The Girl in the Bubble,” and “Kiamo Ko” offer behind-the-scenes looks at the production, new songs, climactic sequences, and director Jon M. Chu’s vision, plus a feature commentary track with Chu.
Awards Buzz & Why Watch Wicked: For Good?
Wicked: For Good arrives on digital riding a wave of critical and audience enthusiasm, including five Golden Globe nominations such as Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (Cynthia Erivo), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana Grande), Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement, and a double nod for Best Original Song (“No Place Like Home” and “The Girl in the Bubble”). These accolades, combined with its box office dominance, have cemented it as one of the most talked-about musical films of the season.
For fans of the stage musical, the first Wicked film, or big-screen spectacle in general, the movie offers an emotionally charged, visually expansive conclusion to Elphaba and Glinda’s intertwined journeys. With its combination of beloved and brand-new songs, powerhouse performances from Erivo and Grande, and a suite of in-depth bonus features and sing-along options, Wicked: For Good is poised to become a repeat-watch favorite once it lands on PVOD and home media.
