Get ready to be changed "for good," because the trailer for the second "Wicked" film is here.

Fans got a "special first look" at the new trailer for "Wicked: For Good" -- the second half of the two-part "Wicked" film series -- on Wednesday evening, when the first "Wicked" film returned to theaters for a special one-night-only screening.

The trailer -- featuring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande returning as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively -- was also shared online following the screenings.

Directed again by Jon M. Chu, "Wicked for Good" begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and follows their journey of needing to mend their friendship to save Oz, for good.

In addition to Erivo and Grande, the trailer also features the return of Jeff Goldblum as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible.

Last month, the official "Wicked" movie account shared a video on Instagram featuring Grande and Erivo announcing the exciting news about the "Wicked: For Good" trailer.

"You will be changed," Grande said, before Erivo added, "For good," a reference to the musical's hit song "For Good."

In 2022, Chu announced that "Wicked" would be split into two films as offering "more space" to tell the story "as it was meant to be told."

The first "Wicked" film was released in November 2024.
