What is the Release Date for ‘Wicked’ Peacock Series?

Fans of “Wicked”are left in suspense as Universal Pictures has yet to announce its streaming release, nearly three months after the film’s premiere.

Following its theatrical debut in November 2024 and amidst a wave of awards season accolades, the film—featuring acclaimed performances by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo—has captured the public’s attention. Not only has “Wicked”become a social media sensation, but it has also achieved impressive box office success, grossing over $700 million worldwide.

Given its popularity, Universal is likely to extend the film’s theatrical run beyond the typical 45-day release window. Consequently, while fans are eager to watch Glinda and Elphaba’s enchanting journey from the comfort of their homes, it appears that the wait might continue a bit longer. It’s a strategic decision!

Wicked’s Streaming Prospects: Anticipated Release on Peacock in Spring

As of now, there is no confirmed streaming release date for “Wicked.”However, The Direct and Decider suggest that the visually spectacular Broadway adaptation may land on NBC Universal’s streaming service, Peacock, around mid-March. There’s a sense that Universal is maintaining ambiguity about the streaming timeline, likely to leverage the film’s momentum from the Academy Awards, where it is nominated in ten categories.

For fans who can’t wait for streaming, “Wicked”is currently available for rent or purchase on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and Apple TV, as well as on Blu-Ray and DVD. We can only hope for further updates regarding its streaming availability soon!
