The second part of the Wicked film, helmed by Jon M Chu, has now been titled Wicked: For Good. The new title was announced by Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Chu on their respective Instagram handles. 

The title change can be connected to the anticipated duet song between Elphaba (Erivo) and Glinda (Grande) in which the duo explain how their lives have been permanently impacted by their frenemies relationship.  

Wicked: Part One, backed by Universal, surpassed the $500 million miletsone at the global box office, recently. An excerpt from CE's review of the film reads, "Barring the film's simplistic notions of morality, it is an exhilarating watch for its smart plotline, theme-based musical numbers, and some brilliant casting choices."

Adapted from Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the films tell the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West and her former friendship with the Good Witch, Glinda. The musical adaptation of the novel, adapted by Stephen Schwartz starring Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, debuted on Broadway in 2003. 

The scripts for the two-part Wicked film were written by Winnie Holzman, the original Broadway musical book author, and Dana Fox, the co-scribe of Cruella. The films are produced by Marc Platt. 

Both Ariana Greande and Cynthia Erivo have received Golden Globe nominations for their performances in Wicked: Part One. The two actors will be seen reprising their roles in Wicked: For Good along with Jonathan Bailey, Marissa Bode, Ethan Slater, and Jeff Goldblum, among others.  

Wicked: For Good is scheduled to hit theatres on November 21, 2025.
