Excitement is in the air as the highly anticipated Wicked sequel, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, has finally made its way to cinemas in the UK and US. However, early reviews suggest that the second installment may not be as well-received as the first one. Whether you’re still undecided about watching it or simply prefer to catch it at home, we’ve got you covered.
Here at Tech Advisor, we always keep an eye on the release schedules of major blockbusters to predict when they might become available for streaming or purchase. So, if you’re wondering when you can enjoy Wicked: For Good from the comfort of your own home, read on.
The film is currently showing in cinemas, with tickets available at Cineworld, Vue, Odeon in the UK, and AMC Theatres, Fandango in the US.
When could Wicked: For Good be released on VOD/digital?
Before Wicked: For Good reaches streaming platforms like Netflix, it will first be available for digital rental or purchase. While Universal has not confirmed an exact release date, looking at the pattern from the first film, we can make an educated guess.
The first Wicked film premiered in cinemas on 22 November 2024 and was released digitally on 31 December 2024 in the US and 3 January 2025 in the UK. Following this timeline, we may expect Wicked: For Good to be available for digital viewing from 30 December 2025 in the US and 2 January 2026 in the UK.
You can already pre-order the film on Amazon and Apple TV in both regions, which further supports this estimated timeline.
When could Wicked: For Good be released on streaming platforms?
After the digital release, the next stop for Wicked: For Good will likely be NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock. The first Wicked film took four months to appear on Peacock, so we can anticipate a streaming release for the sequel around the second half of March 2026.
In the UK, Universal films typically come to Sky Cinema and Now Cinema Memberships. The first Wicked film took eight months to reach these platforms, indicating that UK viewers may have to wait until July 2026 to stream Wicked: For Good.
When could Wicked: For Good be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
The physical release of the first Wicked film fell between the digital and streaming releases. If we follow a similar timeline, we can expect the DVD/Blu-ray of Wicked: For Good to be available in spring 2026.
