Finally, We Can Be Popular: ‘Wicked: For Good’ Lands a Peacock Date with All the Bells and Whistles

Grab your pinkest outfit and your most existential green scowl, the wait for Elphaba and Glinda’s grand finale at home is officially over. Universal has confirmed that Wicked: For Good, the second half of Jon M. Chu’s sprawling, high-flying adaptation, will begin streaming on Peacock on March 20, 2026.

If you missed the spectacle in theaters (how?), or if you just need to analyze every single frame of Ariana Grande’s high notes without a stranger’s popcorn bucket in your lap, this is your moment. The streaming giant isn’t just dropping the movie and running; they’re delivering a "Special Edition" experience that feels like a love letter or a very expensive peace offering to the Ozians who have made this franchise their entire personality.

The Full Oz Experience: What’s in the Vault?

Peacock knows we’re theater nerds at heart, so they’re leaning into the extras. The most anticipated feature is the official Sing-Along version. Yes, you can finally belt out "For Good" at 2:00 AM without worrying about the person in Row F judging your pitch. The lyrics will be on-screen, ensuring you don't accidentally mumble through the fast parts of the ensemble numbers.

For those who think the two-film split wasn't long enough, the release includes six deleted scenes. Rumor has it we’ll see more of Jeff Goldblum’s eccentric Wizard and a few more beats from the Munchkins that didn't make the theatrical cut.

But the real treasure for film geeks is the full-length commentary. Jon M. Chu is joined by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande to break down the emotional weight of the finale. Hearing the trio discuss the technical wizardry (pun intended) behind the "Gravity" callbacks while keeping their chemistry alive is worth the subscription price alone.

Why It Matters (And Why We’re Obsessed)

Wicked: For Good had a lot to live up to. While the first film gave us the thrill of "Defying Gravity," the sequel had to handle the heavy lifting of the political fallout in Oz and that bittersweet goodbye. The fact that we're getting a 50-minute making-of documentary titled Making Wicked: For Good suggests Universal knows we want to see the sweat and tears behind those massive sets.

The TV Cave crew has been tracking this production since those first blurry set photos leaked years ago. Seeing the journey conclude with such a robust digital package proves that the "event movie" isn't dead, it just moves to your couch eventually.

Prepare for the Emerald City Takeover

Whether you’re here for the fashion, the flying monkeys, or the inevitable cry-fest during the final duet, the Peacock premiere is the definitive way to close the book on this era of Oz. Mark your calendars for March 20. It’s going to be "Unlimited."

Do you think the deleted scenes will finally explain why Fiyero’s pants were that tight, or are we just happy to have more Oz? Let us know in the comments!
