Only a few months to go until the first of the two Bad movies, Universal Pictures has confirmed when the series will end for good.
On Thursday (September 12), it was revealed in a social media post that Part 2 will hit theaters almost exactly a year after Part 1 — just one day shy of the perfect 12 months — with the second part premiering on November 21, 2025. After originally being slated for a Thanksgiving theatrical release, the first Bad moved for release on November 22, 2024, in the summer.
One day before the announcement, Bad also released a sneak peek dedicated to Ariana Grande's performance as Glinda, played by the pop superstar's Cynthia Erivo. In the 30-second teaser, fans are treated to previously unseen clips of the pink-obsessed Good Witch hilariously checking her own reflection, driving around Munchkinland in her flying bubble and flirting with Jonathan Bailey's Fiyero.
“Are you looking for something?” she says while making doe eyes at Bridgerton star, performing an over-the-top hair toss. “Or… someone?”
Along with extended clips of Grande singing “Popular” — Glinda's signature song in the Stephen Schwartz Broadway musical on which the films are based — the preview also includes new clips of the REM Beauty founder connecting with Erivo's character, whom she says is “of her heart”. desire to become a witch.”
Plus, at the end, fans get to see Grande deliver one of Glinda's most iconic lines: “It's good to see me, isn't it?” she says, addressing citizens of Oz.
