Wicked Part 2 trailer
The final trailer for Wicked: For Good arrived in September. It gives absolutely nothing away about the two new songs, but does let us hear 'No Good Deed' and 'For Good.' It also teases the arrival of Dorothy Gale, along with Elphaba and Glinda's reunion, a rainbow-themed musical number with the Wizard of Oz, and plenty more besides. Check it out above.
The first trailer for Wicked: For Good, meanwhile, arrived in June 2025. That one also includes snippets of 'For Good' and 'No Good Deed.'

- Cynthia Erivo – Elphaba
- Ariana Grande – Glinda

Wicked Part 2 plot
The Wicked Part 2 plot will be familiar to fans of the Broadway musical, since it's an adaptation of Act 2. Judging by how faithfully Part 1 adapted Act 1, we can assume this one will also follow the storyline more or less exactly again. What we do know, though, that there are set to be two new original songs, as well as the Broadway songs we know and love (the title is taken from 'For Good,' a real tearjerker).
We won't spoil the whole plot here, but anyone who knows their Wizard of Oz will have an idea at where the story is headed. Expect to see the fallout of Elphaba's big 'Defying Gravity' choice, Glinda in her new role as Glinda the Good, and more love triangle drama between her, Elphaba, and Fiyero. Plus, a certain young girl from Kansas will be making an appearance, silver slippers and all…
