Is Wicked on Disney or Netflix?
If you’ve been scouring Disney+ or Netflix hoping to find Wicked, you’re not going to have luck — at least not yet. As of early 2026, neither platform carries the film in Ireland, the UK, or the US. This isn’t a temporary gap; it’s a matter of rights. The film’s distribution window has placed it on competing services instead.
Disney+ availability
Disney+ has not announced Wicked for its streaming library. The platform tends to prioritise its own franchise content, and Universal Pictures — which distributed Wicked — has separate licensing arrangements. Checking Disney+ directly shows no listing for the film, and no official timeline for inclusion exists.
Netflix status
Netflix users face the same situation. The platform has no current listing for Wicked, and historical patterns suggest Universal titles rarely appear on Netflix during their initial post-theatrical windows. StreamWithVPN confirms the absence across multiple regions. The implication: if Netflix eventually adds Wicked, it won’t be for at least 12–18 months after its current streaming debut on Peacock.
Netflix and Disney+ won’t be your first stop for Wicked. Check Amazon Prime Video UK or Apple TV for immediate rental options rather than waiting for a Netflix addition that may never materialise.
Where will Wicked 2024 be streaming?
Three platforms currently carry Wicked in some form, and they differ significantly by region. Here’s where you can actually watch it right now.
Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video offers Wicked for rent or purchase in both the UK and US markets. About Amazon (Amazon’s official newsroom) confirms rental prices start at $5.99 or £4.99, with purchase options around $19.99. Prime members can stream as part of their membership at no additional cost beyond the rental fee. The platform also offers the film in 4K UHD for buyers who want the best visual quality.
Google Play
Google Play Movies carries Wicked for digital rent or buy across devices running Android, as well as through any web browser. Pricing typically mirrors Amazon’s, and the advantage here is seamless integration with Chromecast for TV viewing. The Independent notes Google Play as a reliable option alongside Prime Video.
NOW TV
For Irish viewers specifically, NOW TV provides access to Wicked through its streaming platform. NOW TV (Ireland’s official site) lists the film in its library, making it one of the few confirmed options for Irish audiences without needing to import physical media or use a VPN.
UK viewers have a leg up: Sky Cinema holds exclusive streaming rights, but NOW TV provides an accessible path without committing to a full Sky subscription. For US audiences, Peacock owns the SVOD window outright.
When will the ‘Wicked’ movie be streaming?
The streaming timeline for Wicked follows a predictable post-theatrical path, but the exact dates matter if you want to catch it before paying premium prices.
Digital release timeline
Wicked became available digitally in December 2024, roughly six weeks after its theatrical premiere in late November. The Pioneer Woman (an established entertainment outlet) confirms this window included platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The digital release came in multiple formats: standard HD rental, 4K UHD purchase, and digital code for physical disc owners.
Home viewing options
Physical copies landed on February 4, 2025, with 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions hitting retail. The Pioneer Woman notes the DVD starts around £6.99 on Amazon UK, making it one of the most affordable ways to own the film if you don’t mind standard definition. For US buyers, digital purchase runs $29.99 while rental sits at $19.99 on most platforms.
If you’re in no rush, wait for a rental price drop — Prime Video frequently reduces prices on newer releases after the initial 90-day window. Currently, rental costs hover around $5.99–$6.99, which is reasonable for a blockbuster of this scale.
How to watch Wicked on Roku?
Roku users have several paths to Wicked, depending on whether you prefer subscription streaming or pay-per-view rental.
Streaming channels
The primary route through Roku is Peacock, but only for US viewers. Since Peacock launched Wicked on March 21, 2025, American Roku owners with a Peacock subscription can stream it directly through the Peacock channel on their device. Peacock TV’s official blog confirms the film is available as part of the regular subscription at no extra charge — though Peacock does offer a sing-along version in its “Defying Gravity” Collection for those who want the full karaoke experience.
Rent or buy
For non-Peacock regions, the rent-or-buy route works on Roku through the Amazon Prime Video channel or the Google Play channel. Both integrate directly with your Roku interface, allowing rental playback without needing to switch inputs. About Amazon specifies that Prime Video rentals give you 30 days to start watching and 48 hours to finish once you’ve begun — a flexible window that works well for casual viewing schedules.
Roku owners in Ireland or the UK can’t access Peacock directly. Your best bet is the Prime Video or Google Play channel for rental, though this requires an existing Prime membership or separate purchase per viewing.
Where can I watch Wicked part 2?
Wicked: For Good — the sequel — is still firmly in the theatrical window, but streaming plans are already taking shape.
Peacock streaming
NBCUniversal has indicated that Wicked: For Good will eventually stream on Peacock following its theatrical run, though no specific date has been confirmed yet. Peacock TV’s official blog positions the platform as the eventual home for all Wicked content in the US, suggesting the sequel will follow Part One’s playbook: theatres first, then Peacock after an exclusivity window.
Release info
The US theatrical date is November 21, 2025, with UK and Irish cinemas getting it five days later on November 25, 2025. Sky’s official page notes that Sky Cinema subscribers get access to Vue cinema ticket promotions tied to new releases — including Wicked: For Good. The sequel runs 2h 14m, notably shorter than Part One’s 2h 40m runtime.
Part Two won’t hit streaming until at least mid-2026, probably later. If you want to watch it legally from home without a theatre visit, budget for a theatre-to-PVOD-to-SVOD timeline of roughly 6–9 months after November 2025.
Streaming availability comparison
Six streaming destinations, three regions, and very different content strategies — here’s how they stack up for Wicked.
| Platform | Region | Access Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peacock | US only | Subscription streaming | From $7.99/month |
| Sky Cinema | UK only | Subscription streaming | Included with Sky subscription |
| NOW TV | Ireland | Subscription streaming | Pass-based pricing |
| Prime Video | US, UK | Rent or buy | $5.99–$19.99 / £4.99–£15.99 |
| Apple TV | Global | Rent or buy | Market pricing |
| Google Play | Global | Rent or buy | Market pricing |
The pattern is clear: US viewers get Peacock as the primary subscription option, UK viewers have Sky Cinema, and Ireland has NOW TV. Everyone else — or anyone wanting to own rather than subscribe — defaults to rent-or-buy platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV.
Release timeline
Understanding when Wicked became available where helps set realistic expectations for future releases, including the sequel.
- Late 2024: Wicked Part 1 theatrical release worldwide
- December 2024: Digital PVOD release across Amazon, Apple TV, Fandango at Home
- February 4, 2025: Physical media (4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD) availability begins
- March 21, 2025: Peacock SVOD exclusive begins in the US
- November 21, 2025: Wicked: For Good US theatrical premiere
- November 25, 2025: Wicked: For Good UK and Ireland theatrical premiere
The implication: if you’re outside the US, Peacock is not your path. Instead, monitor your regional streaming services (Sky Cinema for UK, NOW TV for Ireland) for when Part One becomes available on subscription, and expect the sequel to follow a similar 12–18 month post-theatrical window.

What people are saying
“Rejoicify Ozians, there’s thrillifying news you’re going to like: Wicked is officially coming to Peacock — and much sooner than you think.”
— Peacock TV (Official Blog)
“The first Wicked movie is available to watch now exclusively on Sky Cinema – all you need is a subscription.”
— Sky (Official Site)
“Wicked will land on Peacock on Friday, March 21. You must have a subscription plan with the platform in order to watch.”
— The Pioneer Woman (Entertainment Writer)
Bottom line
Wicked is already available to stream or rent — you just need to know which platform serves your region. US audiences have the clearest path via Peacock’s $7.99/month subscription, while UK viewers should check Sky Cinema or NOW TV depending on their provider. Everyone else falls back to Prime Video or Apple TV for rental at roughly $5.99–$6.99. The sequel won’t stream until at least mid-2026, so plan accordingly if you’re waiting for Wicked: For Good.
For Irish viewers, the choice narrows to NOW TV as your primary subscription option or Prime Video/Apple TV for one-time rental. There’s no Netflix or Disney+ path in sight, and Peacock remains US-only — a frustration for anyone hoping to access the same library as American subscribers. If you’re determined to watch without a subscription, rental remains your fastest route at under £5 on Prime Video.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wicked free on Amazon Prime?
No — Amazon Prime Video charges separately for rentals or purchases even if you have a Prime membership. Rental costs around $5.99 or £4.99, while purchase runs $19.99 or £15.99. The membership itself costs $14.99/month or $139/year.
How to rent Wicked movie?
Open Prime Video, search for “Wicked,” and select the rental option at checkout. You’ll have 30 days to start watching and 48 hours once you begin. Apple TV and Google Play offer the same rental process if you prefer those platforms.
Will Wicked 2024 be on Disney+ Plus?
No confirmed date exists for Disney+ availability. The film is distributed by Universal, not Disney, and licensing arrangements mean Disney+ is unlikely to carry it in the near term. Check Prime Video or Apple TV for immediate access.
Can you watch Wicked on Netflix?
Netflix does not currently carry Wicked, and no official announcement suggests it will. Universal titles typically take 12–18 months after SVOD debut to reach Netflix, if ever. Peacock holds the exclusive US streaming window through at least 2025.
What is Wicked 2025 film?
Wicked: For Good is the sequel to Wicked (2024), covering the second half of the musical’s story. It stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, with a runtime of 2h 14m — shorter than Part One. US theatres open November 21, 2025.
Where to watch Wicked in cinema?
Part One is no longer in most cinemas, though occasional re-releases may occur. Part Two (Wicked: For Good) opens in US theatres November 21, 2025, and UK/Ireland theatres November 25, 2025. Sky Cinema subscribers in the UK get Vue cinema ticket promotions for new releases.
Is Wicked on Disney Plus?
Disney+ does not list Wicked, and it’s not expected to arrive there. The film is a Universal Pictures release, not a Disney property, so Disney+’s library doesn’t extend to this title.
Where can I watch Wicked in Ireland?
NOW TV is your best option for subscription streaming in Ireland. Prime Video and Apple TV offer rental access as well. Netflix and Disney+ do not carry the film. Peacock is US-only and not accessible without a VPN.
