Directed by Jon M. Chu and penned by Winnie Holzman, based on Gregory Maguire's novel, the film features Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey. This musical fantasy adaptation from Universal Pictures will be available on VOD starting March 19, 2026, marking the conclusion of the duology that began with the first installment.
The story opens with the Land of Oz weakened by internal strife. Elphaba, isolated, continues her fight against the ruling power, while Glinda takes on a central public role. The choices made by the two heroines shape the birth of the future Wicked Witch of the West. Their relationship, marked by loyalty and rupture, structures a journey in which their decisions redefine the balance of the kingdom.
This conclusion delves deeper into the repercussions of their alliances, their actions, and the political manipulation orchestrated by those in power. The film highlights their confrontation with the truth and their responsibilities, following the evolution of a decisive bond in the story of Oz.
The production team says that both films were shot simultaneously. More than 17 sets, several acres of outdoor scenery, and a massive floral display were used to recreate Oz. The songs were performed live by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Jon M. Chu draws on his experience from In the Heights and Crazy Rich Asians. The film is a continuation of the first part and the original Broadway musical written by Gregory Maguire.
The tone alternates between choreographed scenes, emotional drama, and political sequences. The film is aimed at fans of musical stories, fantasy worlds, and literary adaptations. The main themes include identity, individual choices, and the consequences of power.
