Wicked: For Good - A Magical Journey from Theaters to Netflix

The highly anticipated fantasy musical drama, Wicked: For Good, is set to make its streaming debut on Netflix next month after its initial release in theaters last year. The film is part of Universal's streaming agreement with Peacock, where it will first be available for four months before moving to Netflix for a 10-month period, and then returning to Peacock for the final streaming window.

Wicked: For Good is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on July 20, 2026, following its debut on Peacock on March 20. This strategic streaming plan aims to expand the film's audience reach and engagement, aligning with Universal's distribution strategy.

The movie, which premiered in theaters on November 21, 2025, garnered significant box office success, grossing $527.8 million globally against a production budget of $150 million. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film resonated well with audiences, reflected in its high audience scores on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

Continuing the story from its predecessor, Wicked: For Good follows Elphaba, now the Wicked Witch of the West, as she advocates for animal rights in Oz, leading to an unexpected reunion with Glinda the Good. Directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox, the film features a talented cast, including Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, and other returning and new actors.

As the film transitions from Peacock to Netflix and back, fans can look forward to experiencing the magical world of Wicked: For Good across different streaming platforms, ensuring broader accessibility and enjoyment for viewers of all ages.
