Wicked: For Good sets Peacock streaming date with sing-along version and bonus features

Wicked: For Good begins streaming on Peacock March 20, featuring a sing-along version, deleted scenes and commentary

“Wicked: For Good,” the highly anticipated sequel to Universal Pictures’ hit musical adaptation, is officially heading to streaming. 

Peacock announced that the blockbuster will debut on the platform on March 20, giving fans the chance to revisit the magical world of Oz from home.

The streaming release will include several exclusive features designed to enhance the viewing experience. Among the highlights are a sing-along version of the film, full-length commentary from director Jon M. Chu, deleted scenes and additional bonus content that offers deeper insight into the production.

The sequel marks the return of Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, also known as the Wicked Witch of the West, alongside Ariana Grande as Glinda. Set in a version of Oz facing mounting turmoil, the film aligns with the events of L. Frank Baum’s classic “The Wizard of Oz” while continuing the alternate retelling from Elphaba’s perspective.

Joining the leading duo are returning cast members Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz, Michelle Yeoh as Madam Morrible, Ethan Slater as Boq and Marissa Bode as Nessarose. Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James also reprise their roles, with Chu returning to direct the sequel.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel and the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, the “Wicked” film franchise has proven to be a major box office force. After its theatrical release on Nov. 21, “Wicked: For Good” earned $223 million globally during its opening weekend, surpassing its predecessor’s record for the biggest debut by a Broadway adaptation. The film ultimately grossed $525 million worldwide, while Grande received an Actors Award nomination for best supporting actress.

With its streaming arrival, “Wicked: For Good” is poised to reach an even wider audience, continuing the story that reimagines one of pop culture’s most enduring tales.
