One year after Wicked‘s premiere, Wicked: For Good is set to release in theaters on Nov. 21, 2025. As fans prepare to dive back into the world of Oz and “rejoicify” in the conclusion of the beloved musical’s film adaptation, it seems there’s no better time than now to get excited about the movie’s release by fantasizing about visiting the real-life locations where it was filmed.
Since the story’s two parts were filmed simultaneously, they share certain filming locations that appear in both movies. While production began in December 2022, delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strike resulted in filming wrapping up in January 2024. According to director Jon M. Chu, both movies were shot over a grand total of 160 days.
The majority of filming took place in the United Kingdom, including at Sky Studios Elstree in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, where many of the indoor scenes for both films were shot. Short clips of various outdoor locations appear in the final trailer for Wicked: For Good, released on Sept. 24, 2025, featuring both new and familiar places for fans of the Wicked characters and settings.
It’s clear that the film’s stars, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, have a lot prepared for us, and we can’t wait to see all the drama come to life on the big screen. In the meantime, though, we’ve decided to round up the real-life places where the film was shot and the magic was made.
