Wicked: For Good releases in theaters on Friday, continuing the classic story of Elphaba and Glinda in Oz.
The movie, which centers on the second half of the Broadway play as Elphaba becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the West, is returning with much fanfare, and many are curious about where they can watch the movie on streaming platforms.
Why It Matters
Wicked grossed roughly $1.85 billion worldwide and has become known as the highest-grossing musical adaptation of all time.
This means its sequel will likely draw in many viewers, both in theaters and amongst those who prefer streaming services.

When is ‘Wicked: For Good’ Available on Streaming Platforms?
Fans of ‘Wicked’ will likely have to wait 90 days to watch the new movie on Peacock, as the standard timeline is 90 days after the release.

What People Are Saying
The Wicked website said in its sequel description: “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. Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity.”
Newsweek reporter Billie Melissa wrote: “As much as it is a magnificent, entertaining spectacle, it also holds a deep truth about the world we live in. With propaganda reigning over us and lines of division growing deeper, Wicked: For Good arrives as both a mirror and a warning. It shows us who we are and who we can be, which is why Grande’s Glinda and Erivo’s Elphaba are key to the film’s success.”
What Happens Next
