The new name is lifted from one of the musical’s most beloved songs, “For Good”

As “Wicked” continues to fly at the box office and build up Oscar buzz in the process, Universal has made a title change to the second half of Jon M. Chu’s Broadway adaptation, set for release next holiday season.

“Wicked: Part 2” will now be titled “Wicked: For Good,” drawing its name from the famed duet in the second act of Stephen Schwartz’s musical in which Elphaba and Glinda — played by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, respectively — sing to each other about how their rivalry-turned-friendship forever transformed them.

You can watch the original Broadway stars of “Wicked,” Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, sing “For Good” in a 2016 video, below.

Through four weekends in theaters, “Wicked” has grossed $525 million at the global box office, including $359 million in North America, enough to become the highest-grossing Broadway film adaptation of all time. On Monday, it will pass another Universal release, “Despicable Me 4,” to become the third-highest grossing domestic release this year.

“Wicked: Part One” is now playing in theaters. “Wicked: For Good” will be released Nov. 21, 2025.
