Wicked to be added to Amazon Prime Video

Wicked will be added to Prime Video this month.

Part one of the Jon M Chu-directed screen adaptation starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande set box office records over its opening weekend.

Based on the hit novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, Wicked tells the story of two unlikely university friends in the land of Oz, one destined to become Glinda the Good and the other, the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked writers Winnie Holzman (book) and Stephen Schwartz (score) collaborated on the screenplay with Dana Fox.

Erivo and Grande were both nominated for Academy Awards for their performances as Elphaba and Glinda, while the film was nominated for Best Picture. It picked up two Academy Awards at the 2025 ceremony in the following categories: Best Costume Design (for Paul Tazewell) and Production Design (for Nathan Crowley).

The film will be added to the streaming service worldwide on 25 July 2025.

Looking ahead, Wicked: For Good will be released on 21 November 2025. You can watch the trailer here:
