The wait is over &mdash; the Wicked: For Good trailer is finally here, and it&rsquo;s already stirring up all kinds of feels. The second and final part of Jon M. Chu&rsquo;s two-part cinematic take on the iconic Broadway musical is set to premiere November 21, 2025, and from the looks of this new footage &mdash; things are about to get a whole lot darker in Oz.
The trailer opens with what feels like the calm before the storm: Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) reunite on a balcony, but there&rsquo;s no glitter or cackling &mdash; just distance, regret, and a little grief. Elphaba&rsquo;s been branded public enemy number one, and Glinda&rsquo;s trying to survive the political spotlight &mdash; all while being prepped to marry Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), now head of the Wizard&rsquo;s Guard. Yes, it&rsquo;s messy.

One scene flashes Glinda in a wedding gown, while Elphaba, barefoot in black, declares &ldquo;You&rsquo;re the only friend I ever had,&rdquo; only to hear &ldquo;The only one that mattered&rdquo; in return. Cue the heartbreak. Add to that a haunting build of &ldquo;For Good&rdquo; and &ldquo;No Good Deed,&rdquo; and you&rsquo;ve got one emotionally loaded reunion we&rsquo;re absolutely not ready for.
 So, what&rsquo;s this all building on?
 If you remember, Wicked: Part One &mdash; which released in 2024 &mdash; set up the world behind The Wizard of Oz, retelling the story through Elphaba&rsquo;s eyes. She&rsquo;s born with green skin and extraordinary powers, becomes a student at Shiz University, and unexpectedly bonds with Glinda, her perfect-opposite roommate. But once the truth about the Wizard&rsquo;s regime comes out, Elphaba chooses rebellion while Glinda sticks to the spotlight.
The first film ends with Elphaba faking her own death, setting herself up as the &ldquo;Wicked Witch&rdquo; the world wants her to be &mdash; and that&rsquo;s where For Good picks up.
 Besides betrayal, aerial duels, and emotionally wrecking duets? A larger look at Oz&rsquo;s chaos post-Elphaba. There&rsquo;s a glimpse of a torch-wielding mob, and subtle hints at Dorothy&rsquo;s arrival (yes, that Dorothy). We also get confirmation that the music will stay true to Broadway roots &mdash; with new vocals, slightly reworked arrangements, and an overall heavier tone.
Director Jon M. Chu described the sequel as &ldquo;a story of soul-searching and reckoning&rdquo;, promising fans that where Part One was about choice, Part Two is about consequences.
 Who&rsquo;s returning? Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, and Ethan Slater as Boq. There&rsquo;s even a reported cameo by original Broadway Elphaba Kerry Ellis, and rumors swirling about Alisha Weir appearing as Dorothy.
 We&rsquo;re not just watching the Wicked Witch&rsquo;s legacy unfold &mdash; we&rsquo;re watching a friendship unravel, a kingdom collapse, and a new heroine rise. The emotional tension is sky-high, the production looks stunning, and with Ariana and Cynthia&rsquo;s vocals carrying it all? This finale might just be&mdash;forgive the pun&mdash;spellbinding.
