Rejoicify! The highly anticipated cinematic sequel, Wicked: For Good, has finally landed in theatres, but audiences are already asking when they can watch the magical spectacle from home.
Arriving exactly one year after the first film captivated audiences, this second instalment continues the story, diving into Act II of the beloved musical. The plot follows Elphaba as she publicly defies the wizard, while Glinda makes the fateful decision to align with his dubious regime.
When Can You Stream Wicked: For Good Online?
While an official digital release date for Wicked: For Good is still pending, we can make an educated prediction based on the previous film's timeline. The first Wicked movie became available for purchase on Video On Demand (VOD) services in the US on December 31st, 2024, and in the UK on January 3rd, 2025.
This pattern suggests a swift transition from cinema to home viewing. If Universal Pictures follows a similar schedule, fans in the UK could be renting or purchasing Wicked: For Good online as early as the first week of January 2026.
VOD platforms such as Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube TV will host the film for digital rental or purchase. Based on the precedent set by the first movie, the cost is expected to be around £19.99 in the UK. This digital release will likely include enticing bonus content, such as deleted scenes, offering fans a deeper look into the production.
Will Wicked: For Good Be on Netflix or Peacock?
For those hoping to stream the film as part of a subscription, the path is clear. Mirroring the release strategy of its predecessor, Wicked: For Good will be available to stream for free on Peacock in the US and internationally.
All that is required is a standard Peacock subscription, granting unlimited viewings. The first Wicked film arrived on Peacock on March 21st, 2025, so a similar timeline would place Wicked: For Good on the platform around March 2026.
Regarding other major streamers, it is highly unlikely that Wicked: For Good will appear on Netflix in the near future, due to Universal Pictures' affiliation with Peacock. While the film will be available to rent or buy on Prime Video, it is not expected to be included for free with a Prime membership initially, though this could change later.
For now, the quickest way to experience the film from your sofa will be through a digital purchase or rental shortly after the New Year, before its eventual arrival on Peacock for subscribers.
