NextImg:Is 'Wicked' streaming on Netflix or Disney+?

It’s finally almost time to try defying gravity, because the Wicked movie is opening in theaters this weekend. But don’t be fooled by the title—which was changed from Wicked: Part 1 to simply Wicked—this two-hour-and-40-minute long movie only covers the first half of the wildly successful Broadway musical.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, this film adaptation of Stephen Schwartz’s Tony-winning musical has been a long time coming. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, aka the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, before she turned evil. Glinda the Good Witch, aka Galinda (played by Ariana Grande), is key to Elphaba’s villain origin story. Before they were enemies, they were the best of friends.

Though some reviews have been mixed, it’s hard to resist that those songs we all know and love. After all, there’s a reason this musical is so pop-u-lar.

If you were hoping to watch the Wicked movie at home, however, you’ll have to wait. Read on for all the information about where to watch the Wicked movie and when we expect to see Wicked streaming on Peacock.

Wicked will only available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. on Friday, November 22. You can find a showing near you via FandangoWicked is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.

Wicked is not streaming on Netflix, and likely will not be on Netflix any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Universal release. Almost all Universal movies go to the NBCUniversal streaming platform, Peacock. If you want to watch Wicked movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Peacock.

Wicked is not streaming on Disney+, and will not be on Disney+ any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Universal release and not a Disney movie. Not every musical is a Disney movie! Almost all Universal movies go to the NBCUniversal streaming platform, Peacock. If you want to watch Wicked movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Peacock.

Wicked is not yet streaming on Peacock. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Wicked streaming on Peacock eventually, but we’re not sure when. Another Universal release, Twisters, began streaming on Peacock on November 15, which was about four months after the film opened in theaters, and about three months after the film released on digital.

If Wicked follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital by late December 2024, and streaming on Peacock around late March 2025.

This is all speculation. Given the hype around the movie, it’s possible Universal will opt to keep the movie in theaters for longer. If you want to watch Wicked movie right away, you can catch the movie in theaters.
