While some critics haven’t been impressed, the enthusiastic reaction from the audience at SXSW suggests this sequel will be a box office success when it’s released on March 20th.

As a huge Wicked fan, I’m absolutely thrilled! Peacock is releasing three different ways to watch ‘Wicked: For Good’ on March 20, 2026.

It’s going to be an amazing viewing experience, no matter how you choose to watch it.
When Moonlight unexpectedly won Best Picture – following a famous mistake at the Academy Awards where La La Land was initially announced as the winner – it was immediately seen as a sign of progress.
