GLOBAL BOX OFFICE SENSATION "WICKED" ARRIVES NOV. 19 ON NBC

NBCUniversal Moves Swiftly to Bring Universal Pictures' Oscar(R)-Winning $756 Million Cinematic Phenomenon to Broadcast and Build Momentum for the Nov. 21 Release of the Epic Conclusion, "Wicked: For Good"

UNIVERSAL CITY - Oct. 23, 2025 - In a nearly unprecedented move that highlights its speed and nimbleness as a major media company, NBCUniversal will air Universal Pictures' worldwide box office sensation "Wicked" on NBC on Wednesday, Nov. 19 from 8-11:30 p.m. ET/PT, less than a year following the film's record-shattering theatrical release.

Having earned $756 million globally and the highest domestic gross of any film since its release on Nov. 22, 2024, "Wicked" became the biggest Broadway film adaptation of all-time and secured 10 Academy Award(R) nominations, including Best Picture.

The NBC telecast of "Wicked" leads up to the Nov. 21 premiere of "Wicked: For Good," the epic finale to the global cultural phenomenon. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba (Oscar(R) nominee Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Oscar(R) nominee Ariana Grande) estranged and living with the consequences of their choices. When a girl from Kansas comes crashing into their lives, they will need to come together one final time, and truly see each other, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.

"Wicked: For Good" is produced by four-time Academy Award(R) nominee and Tony and Emmy-winning powerhouse Marc Platt and by multiple Tony Award winner David Stone.

Also, as previously announced, NBC will present "Wicked: One Wonderful Night" on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. The two-hour musical special, which will air next day on Peacock, will star Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, featuring electrifying performances alongside their "Wicked: For Good" co-stars - Oscar(R) winner Michelle Yeoh, pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum, Tony nominee Ethan Slater, five-time Emmy nominee Bowen Yang and Marissa Bode - for an unforgettable night of reimagined musical arrangements, cast interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, exclusive surprises and maybe even a sneak peek at what's to come in the next chapter of Oz.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, "Wicked" stars Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, with Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum. The film won two Academy Awards(R), for Best Achievement in Production Design and for Best Achievement in Costume Design.
