**Los Angeles, CA** – Director Jon M. Chu has offered a tantalizing glimpse into the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster musical *Wicked*, *Wicked: For Good*, set for release in 2026. Speaking exclusively to E! News, Chu described the upcoming film as a direct exploration of the consequences stemming from the choices made in the first installment.
“If movie one is about choices,” Chu revealed, “movie two is about consequences.” This suggests that the sequel will delve deeper into the complex relationship between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande), exploring the ramifications of their decisions. While remaining tight-lipped about a rumored song written by Erivo for the sequel, Chu confirmed that the Elphaba-Glinda dynamic will be central to the narrative.
“There may be a couple new songs,” he hinted, adding, “I’m really excited for them to see how this relationship unfolds.” He further elaborated on the complexities of their evolving bond, highlighting the challenges and emotional depth of their diverging paths.
The announcement comes on the heels of *Wicked*’s four Golden Globe nominations, including nods for both Erivo and Grande. Chu expressed his delight at the film’s positive reception, praising fans’ creativity in engaging with the movie, from costuming to choreography and even creating their own lyrics. Erivo herself has openly encouraged audience singalongs, embracing the fan enthusiasm. The film is now available digitally and will be released on physical media on February 4th.
