This exclusive glimpse into the production will offer a unique journey with familiar faces such as director Jon M. Chu and leading lady Ariana Grande, as one of the most looked-forward-to sequences comes to life. The behind-the-scenes content also captures Grande coming face-to-face with Oscar, the dog who played Toto in the film. Viewers will also get up-close-and-personal looks at Jonathan Bailey and Ethan Slater's transformations into the Scarecrow and Tin Man, respectively, alongside Chu's emotional account of bringing cinema's most infamous characters and set designs to life.

"Wicked: For Good" continues the compelling story of Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) after their paths diverged in the first film. Picking up after the events of the previous movie, Glinda now holds a position of political power, while Elphaba is deemed an enemy of Oz. The sequel meticulously explains the origins of beloved characters from "The Wizard of Oz," such as the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and even the young farm girl Dorothy Gale (Bethany Weaver). It also delves into the complex relationship of the two best friends, showing their eventual reunion and their journey to celebrate the friendship they once had while embracing the darkness and loneliness that will now come with their futures.
