The magical world of Oz descends upon the capital tonight as London hosts the UK premiere of Wicked: For Good. The highly anticipated second part of the blockbuster film franchise will see its stars, including Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey, walk the iconic green carpet.
Star-Studded Arrivals and Premiere Details
Fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the film's leading cast on Monday, 10th November 2025. The event will take place in the heart of the city's entertainment district, Leicester Square, a change from the Royal Festival Hall venue used for the first film's premiere.
Confirmed attendees for the red carpet spectacle include Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey, who was recently crowned People's Sexiest Man. They will be joined by co-stars Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh, ensuring a night of significant star power.
What to Expect from Wicked: For Good
Wicked: For Good continues the story directly after the breathtaking conclusion of Part One, which featured Elphaba's stunning 'Defying Gravity' performance and her flight from Oz. This instalment explores the aftermath, revealing what happens after Elphaba flees, leaving Glinda behind with The Wizard.
Audiences can look forward to the return of all their favourite characters, such as Prince Fiyero, Bok, and The Wizard. The press tour for the first film was noted for its spectacular fashions and the heart-warming off-screen friendship between Erivo and Grande, setting high expectations for tonight's celebrations.
London's Cinematic Celebration and Film Release
London is no stranger to embracing the fantastical energy of Oz. For the first film's release, the city saw an Emerald City Christmas tree at St Pancras, Greenwich temporarily rebranding itself 'Green Witch', and themed Oxford Street window displays.
While the exact plans for this year remain under wraps, expectations are high for a similarly immersive and whimsical celebration across the capital. In a charitable move, Barnardo's and Universal Pictures have partnered to offer fans a chance to win tickets to experience the premiere's red carpet.
Following tonight's glamorous event, UK audiences won't have long to wait to see the film. Wicked: For Good lands in cinemas across the country on 21st November 2025, almost exactly one year after the release of Part One on 22nd November 2024.
