Good news! The most successful big-screen Broadway musical adaptation in history officially has a streaming premiere date. Universal’s blockbuster film version of the first half of “Wicked” will be available to stream on Peacock beginning in March. While NBCU won’t be able to push people to its flagship streamer in the leadup to the March 2 Academy Awards, the company is taking full advantage of the movie musical’s extended premium video-on-demand (PVOD) window, which began on Dec. 31, 2024.

Key Details:

  • “Wicked” will arrive on Peacock on March 21, 2025; four months after its theatrical debut.
  • The streaming version of “Wicked” will include the full “Defying Gravity” collection of bonus content.
  • The movie musical is nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

While “Wicked” devotees have been able to rent or buy digital copies of the film — complete with cut scenes and bonus features — it will now be available to stream with either a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription beginning on Friday, March 21, almost exactly four months after the film debuted in cinemas on Nov. 21, 2024. The film has been nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Cynthia Erivo, and Actress in a Supporting Role for Ariana Grande.

In addition to the film, “Wicked” will be accompanied on Peacock by the full “Defying Gravity” Collection of Peacock bonus content. The second half of the “Wizard of Oz” prequel — now known as “Wicked: For Good” — will fly into theaters on Nov. 21, 2025
