Wicked Peacock Premiere Date Revealed: When Can You Stream Wicked?

Something Wicked is coming to Peacock next month...if you catch our drift. The NBCUniversal streaming service has announced that director Jon M. Chu's acclaimed Wizard of Oz prequel will officially hit the platform in March 2025.

Adapted from the long-running and Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name, the film provides a compelling origin story for the Wicked Witch of the West (Cynthia Erivo), who was merely a gifted student at Shiz University before being branded as persona non grata by the Wizard himself (Jeff Goldblum). The cast also features the talents of Ariana Grande, Marissa Bode, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Peter Dinklage, and Michelle Yeoh.

When will be the Wicked sequel Wicked: For Good be released?

Wicked: For Good is slated for a wide theatrical debut on Friday, November 21, 2025.

Though the fact that the the two parts were filmed back-to-back, the production team never saw them as two distinct projects.

"We made one enormous movie for Jon Chu," the films' Oscar-nominated sound mixer Simon Hayes told NBC Insider ahead of the first movie's wide theatrical debut in November 2024. "We didn't treat the two parts in any different way, and it just meant there was a cohesiveness in the way we told the story from a filmmaking perspective. There were no breaks, there was no changes in crews, there was no [case of] someone leaving to do another movie and someone else stepping in. It meant that this very tight-knit team around Jon, Ari, and Cynthia had this continuity where we almost had a telepathy — like a filmmaking backhand — where we stopped needing to actually articulate things. It could be done with looks and smiles and just creating this blanket of support around these actors, so that they felt completely and utterly immersed in the world of Oz."
