All-New "Wicked" Special to Air on NBC and Peacock This Fall Ahead of the Theatrical Release of "Wicked: For Good" on November 21

At this morning’s NBCUniversal Upfront presentation in New York City, “WICKED” and “WICKED: FOR GOOD” director Jon M. Chu announced from the Radio City stage that Academy Award^® nominated stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will lead a one-time-only “WICKED” special event from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles this fall.

Erivo and Grande will be joined by their co-stars and other surprise guests to perform many songs from the first movie — and maybe, just maybe, a little bit from the upcoming “WICKED: FOR GOOD” as well — for a special that will air exclusively on NBC this November and stream on Peacock the following day.

“WICKED,” released in November 2024, became a global phenomenon and grossed more than $750 million dollars at the worldwide box office to become the biggest Broadway musical adaptation of all time.  The film went on to become Universal’s biggest PVOD title of all time, and Peacock’s biggest Pay 1 streaming launch ever.  “WICKED” garnered 10 Academy Award^® nominations, securing two wins.
