When Will Wicked Be Released on VOD?

Universal Pictures, the distributor of the film, has not announced a specific date for the digital release of Wicked. However, based on previous VOD releases by Universal, we can make an educated guess.

Given the anticipated success of Wicked at the box office, it is likely to follow a similar release pattern to other blockbusters. If this holds true, we can expect Wicked to be available on digital platforms around 17 December 2024. However, it’s essential to note that release dates can vary, with some films taking longer to reach VOD.

Therefore, it’s possible that Wicked may not be available for purchase or rental until January or February 2025. These dates are speculative and subject to confirmation by Universal Pictures.

When Could Wicked Be Released on DVD/Blu-ray?

Typically, physical copies of Universal’s films are released after the digital version. The timeline for DVD and Blu-ray releases varies for each film. In the case of Wicked, we can expect physical copies to be available in late December or the early months of 2025.

When Could Wicked Be Released on Streaming Services?

After the DVD and Blu-ray release, Universal films usually appear on streaming platforms within a month to a month and a half. For Wicked, the film will first debut on Peacock for four months before transitioning to Netflix for a period of ten months. Following this, it will return to Peacock.

Based on this streaming schedule, we anticipate that Wicked may be available for streaming in the spring of 2025.
