We Thought We Had Until November to Emotionally Prepare. Then the Wicked: For Good Trailer Dropped.
We were supposed to have the summer off—just a few months to breathe. To exist peacefully without being emotionally wrecked by the friendship of two witches who changed us forever. But then the Wicked: For Good trailer dropped and said, “Actually, no. Time to sob again, in the airport lounge, in front of regular people. Sure, there’s a Wicked fan somewhere.”

We really thought we had until November. A little break. One hot girl summer before the cold green chaos returned. But nope. The trailer is here, and with it comes the absolute emotional devastation.
The first look at Wicked: For Good is everything and too much all at once. It opens with haunting visuals of Elphaba in exile, Glinda alone in the palace, and the ache of a broken bond that once meant everything. It’s lush, it’s epic, it’s Jon M. Chu’s wizardry, and it looks like the kind of grand, sweeping, heart-shattering finale we are absolutely not prepared for.
Cynthia Erivo is already burning the screen with quiet, powerful heartbreak, and Ariana Grande’s Glinda? She’s got that perfect mix of brittle glam and suppressed grief that tells us we’re in for so much pain. The wedding visuals. The distant stares. The mob. The broomstick. The music. And over all of it—that line.
This isn’t just a trailer. It’s an emotional ambush. It’s a call to arms (and tissues). It’s the promise that Wicked: For Good will not only finish what last year’s film started—it will destroy us in the most beautiful way possible.
So no, we are not okay. And yes, it’s only June. But apparently, crying over Wicked is a year-round sport now.
Bring it on. For good.
