Get ready for spooky season because this year is all about witches. Following Agatha Harkness and her coven on Disney+, another magical tale is on the horizon. Universal Pictures is bringing Wicked to the big screen, taking you to the Land of Oz to reveal the true story of the Wicked Witch of the West.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because Wicked is the movie adaptation of the popular stage musical based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.” Maguire’s book is a subversive take on the characters from L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” exploring the theme of evil in a unique way.

The film will follow the story of Elphaba Thropp (played by Cynthia Erivo), a young woman with green skin who is misunderstood. At Shiz University, she befriends the popular Galinda Upland (played by Ariana Grande). However, their encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (played by Jeff Goldblum) sets them on different paths, leading to the transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

Expect Wicked to be a musical extravaganza, filled with catchy tunes that bring the story of good and evil to life.
