“Wicked: For Good,” the sequel to the 2024 film adaptation of the Broadway musical, has surpassed $500 million at the global box office, placing it among the highest-grossing films of 2025. The movie, released theatrally in November, continues the story of the evolving friendship between Glinda and Elphaba, portrayed by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. According to box office tracking reports and distribution updates from Universal Pictures, the strong theatrical performance reflects sustained audience interest in the long-form cinematic adaptation of the “Wicked” universe rather than a short-lived opening surge.
As viewers look ahead to watching the film outside theaters, Universal Pictures has confirmed that “Wicked: For Good” will be released digitally on Tuesday, December 30. The studio announced that the film will be available for rental or purchase on major digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The digital release will also include bonus material, such as an exclusive sing-along version, behind-the-scenes content, and previously unreleased deleted scenes, providing additional context around the production and performances.
When Wicked: For Good Could Arrive on Subscription Streaming Services
While the digital release date has been formally announced, Universal Pictures has not yet confirmed when “Wicked: For Good” will become available on a subscription-based streaming service. The studio has not issued an official statement regarding a Peacock release timeline. However, past distribution patterns offer some context rather than a guarantee.
The first “Wicked” film became available to stream on Peacock in March, approximately four months after its theatrical debut, before later expanding to Prime Video in September. This information, drawn from publicly documented release schedules, outlines how Universal has handled previous titles in the franchise. Until an official announcement is made, viewers interested in watching “Wicked: For Good” at home can access the film through its newly confirmed digital platforms, with future streaming availability to be determined by the studio.
