Wicked became an instant hit at the box office, with the movie musical debuting with a record-breaking $114 million on opening weekend. That number helped Wicked open as the biggest box office launch of all time for a Broadway adaptation. It also racked up awards nominations, including a Best Director win for John M. Chu at the Critics Choice Awards and a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars.

It was a huge box office draw, which is why it’s no surprise that distributor Universal Pictures wasn’t rushing to release it on streaming. But now we have a streaming date for the film — Wicked will land on Peacock on Friday, March 21.

If you’d rather not wait, or you’re looking to catch the film before the Oscars, you can purchase Wicked on VOD (video on demand) through Amazon Prime Video for $19.99 here. It’s available on UHD, HD, or SD, and costs the same regardless of the format purchased.

Prefer a physical copy? The film dropped on Blu-ray and DVD on Feb. 4. The physical release includes both the original, theatrical version as well as a singalong version.

Amazon also released a limited-edition Wicked box set that features the film on 4K UHD Blu-ray, along with a set of gold-tone metal bookends, exclusive merch, and collectible packaging, which quickly sold out and is available through secondhand Amazon sellers.

Wicked (Blu-ray + Digital)

Wicked is available on 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD, and features both the theatrical and singalong versions.
