At the end of Wicked: Part One, viewers are left with a major cliffhanger that will set the stage for the highly anticipated Wicked: Part Two, coming in November 2025.
Without giving too much away for those who haven’t seen the movie, the first part concludes with Elphaba’s path taking a darker turn, and the political tension between the witches and the people of Oz intensifies. Glinda, on the other hand, is grappling with her position as she gets closer to aligning herself with the Wizard’s regime. The culmination of these events leaves audiences on edge, eager to see how the friendship between Elphaba and Glinda will evolve and whether Elphaba will fully embrace her role as the Wicked Witch of the West.
The final moments of Part One also introduce key characters and plotlines that will likely play a significant role in the second part, including the continuing power struggle within the land of Oz. Fans can expect dramatic confrontations, emotional resolutions, and, of course, more of the musical numbers that made the Broadway show a massive hit.
Part Two promises to deliver on the emotional and narrative payoff of the first movie’s build-up, answering many questions while propelling the characters into the fates that audiences have come to know from the beloved original musical and Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked. The wait for Part Two will certainly be filled with anticipation as fans debate what might come next for these iconic characters.
