The yellow brick road is calling once more. Universal Pictures has unveiled the final trailer for Wicked: For Good, offering fans an emotional, musical, and visually grand conclusion to the saga of Elphaba and Glinda. The highly anticipated sequel is set to release in theatres worldwide on November 21, 2025.

The 3.4-minute trailer teases a rollercoaster of emotions: laughter, heartbreak, and redemption, as Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba, now branded the Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile while Ariana Grande’s Glinda basks in her newfound role as Emerald City’s shining figurehead. However, when Elphaba warns the people with the chilling words “Our Wizard lies,” the stage is set for an ultimate showdown.

The trailer reveals how the two witches, once friends, then rivals are forced to confront their past when a furious mob threatens Elphaba’s very survival. In a moment of vulnerability, Glinda poses the question that lies at the heart of the sequel: “Think of what we could do together.”

Guided by Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), Glinda’s rise contrasts with Elphaba’s struggle for truth. Their fractured bond becomes the fulcrum of Oz’s fate, highlighting themes of power, honesty, and the endurance of friendship.
