As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for musicals and a soft spot for magical tales, I must say that the anticipation for “Wicked” has been nothing short of electrifying! I’ve waited eagerly for this moment ever since I first heard those enchanting tunes from the stage production.


The musical “Wicked” has been captivating audiences globally, shattering box-office records with its impressive opening performance.

The film is a screen adaptation featuring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in iconic roles as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. However, it covers only the initial portion of the tale, so if you’re eagerly anticipating more, we completely understand your eagerness for the release of Wicked: Part 2.

It’s possible that you’re curious about if you can catch a showing of the movie Wicked at home; regrettably, Universal has opted for an exclusive theater release. Let’s examine their previous releases to find out when we could potentially stream Wicked.

Here is the information on when you can find the movie “Wicked” on digital and streaming platforms, as well as how to watch it immediately.

When will Wicked be released on digital platforms?

It’s currently not possible to stream “Wicked” from home, as Universal has yet to announce a date for its digital release.

In the United States, digital versions of Universal movies are typically made accessible for purchase or rental around three weeks after their theater premiere. However, due to the expected blockbuster status of “Wicked”, it would surprise us significantly if this timeline were followed in this case.

It’s possible that we won’t need to wait much longer, since “Despicable Me 4,” a movie that was also a major success at the box office, became available digitally about a month following its theater release in the U.S.

In late December 2024, the digital version of “Wicked” will be made available in the US. It is expected that the release in the UK will follow approximately 45 days later, around mid-January 2025, given Universal’s customary timeline for releases in the UK after cinema premieres.

For the moment, this is merely our speculation, but it’s possible that Universal might prepare a delightful surprise for “Wicked” fans before Christmas.

While waiting for its official release, I recommend securing a pre-order of the movie “Wicked” through Prime Video or iTunes if you’re based in the UK, or on either service if you’re in the US. That way, you can enjoy watching it as soon as it becomes available!

As a keen gamer, I’m excited to share that you can reserve a spot for the upcoming DVD, Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, and 4K Steelbook release of “Wicked” in the UK. Unfortunately, Universal hasn’t disclosed the exact date for this physical release just yet. So, if you want to get your hands on it early, pre-ordering might be the way to go!

Is Wicked available to stream?

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve got to say it’s a bummer that I can’t stream “Wicked” anywhere just yet. Universal hasn’t given us a hint about when we’ll be able to watch it online.

It’s clear that the streaming version of “Wicked” won’t be available until after its digital release. Furthermore, we have learned that in the United States, its initial streaming home will be Peacock, while in the UK, it will debut on Sky Cinema.

In the United States, it’s common for Universal films to become available on Peacock approximately three months after their initial release. Therefore, if we follow this pattern, “Wicked” should start streaming around late February 2025.

In the United Kingdom, Universal films typically become available on Sky Cinema after a delay of approximately eight months or more, meaning that the premiere of “Wicked” on streaming services in the UK is estimated to be around July 2025.
