The platforms that carry Wicked each have distinct regional hooks and pricing models. Here’s a breakdown of confirmed availability per service.

| Netflix | Australia only | Yes | Standard Netflix subscription |
| Prime Video | Select countries (UK, Ireland, US, etc.) | Rental/purchase available without Prime; Prime membership for included streaming | Rental from $5.99, purchase from $19.99 (Amazon News) |

Where can I stream Wicked?
Streaming on Netflix (Australia)
Netflix Australia added Wicked on , according to JustWatch. This is the only region where Netflix carries the title. Viewers outside Australia cannot access it via Netflix without a VPN, and there is no announcement of a global rollout.
Streaming on Prime Video
Prime Video offers Wicked to all subscribers in participating countries. Amazon News (official announcement) confirms that a Prime membership includes the film at no extra cost. Non-members can rent or buy it from the Prime Video Store – rentals start at $5.99, purchases at $19.99, and include 30 days to start and 48 hours to finish.
Streaming on Sky Cinema (UK & Ireland)
Entertainment.ie lists Wicked as available on Sky Cinema in the UK and Ireland. A Sky subscription is required, and the film is included in the Sky Cinema package.
Streaming on Now TV (Ireland)
In Ireland, Now TV also carries Wicked via its pay-as-you-go or subscription plans. The service confirmed availability on according to Entertainment.ie.
The takeaway: your region dictates your platform. Australia has Netflix; the UK and Ireland lean on Sky, Now TV, and Prime Video. Prime Video is the most widely accessible option across multiple markets.
Is Wicked on Netflix or Disney?
Netflix availability
Netflix carries Wicked only in Australia, as confirmed by JustWatch. In every other country, Netflix does not have the streaming rights.
Disney+ availability
Disney+ does not currently offer Wicked. The film is distributed by Universal Pictures, not Disney, making a Disney+ appearance unlikely unless a licensing deal is struck. No such announcement exists (Wicked Official Movie Site).
Comparison of services
Netflix and Disney+ are both absent for most global viewers. Prime Video and Sky Cinema cover the UK, Ireland, and select other markets. The pattern: neither Netflix nor Disney+ is a reliable source for Wicked outside Australia.
For viewers in the US, UK, and most of Europe, the choice is between Prime Video, Sky Cinema, or rental/purchase. Netflix and Disney+ are not options – a point that frequently surprises fans.
The pattern: neither Netflix nor Disney+ serves global viewers; Prime Video and Sky Cinema are the practical choices outside Australia.
Will Wicked be on Disney+?
Disney+ future plans
There is no official announcement that Wicked will come to Disney+. The official movie site (Wicked Official Movie Site) promotes watch-at-home on Prime Video, Apple TV, and similar platforms – not Disney+.
Impact of Universal distribution
Universal Pictures distributes Wicked. Disney+ typically carries content from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. Universal has its own streaming deals, including Peacock in the US (JustWatch lists it on Peacock). A Disney+ addition would require a licensing agreement that has not been announced.
The implication: unless Universal and Disney strike a deal, Disney+ is not in the picture. Expect the film to stay within Universal’s ecosystem (Peacock, Prime Video, Sky).
How to stream Wicked on Prime Video
Steps to watch Wicked on Prime Video
- Open the Prime Video app or visit the website on your device (Amazon News).
- Search for “Wicked” in the search bar.
- If you have a Prime membership, click “Watch now” for included streaming.
- If you are not a Prime member, choose “Rent” or “Buy” and complete the transaction.
- Start watching – rentals give you 48 hours from first play (Amazon News).
Requirements: Prime membership
A Prime membership costs $14.99/month or $139/year in the US (Amazon News). Discounted plans are available through Prime Access (for government assistance recipients) and Prime for Young Adults (ages 18–24 and college students). Non-members can still rent or buy.
Availability in different regions
Prime Video carries Wicked in the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, and many other countries. The rental and purchase options are available in most regions where Prime Video operates. Check the service in your country to confirm (Amazon News).
Why this matters: Prime Video is the only platform that offers both subscription streaming and pay-per-view, making it the most flexible choice for viewers worldwide.
Where can I watch Wicked: For Good?
Release date and platform expectations
Wicked: For Good is scheduled for a 2025 release (Wicked Official Movie Site). The official site currently promotes watch-at-home options for the first film on Prime Video and Apple TV, suggesting the sequel will follow similar distribution.
Speculation based on first movie distribution
Given the first film’s pattern – Netflix Australia, Prime Video globally, Sky Cinema in UK/Ireland – the sequel is likely to appear on the same platforms. Amazon News has confirmed that Wicked is part of the Prime Video catalog, and the sequel may be included in Prime memberships or available for rental/purchase.
Fans in Australia may get a Netflix window for the sequel, while UK viewers will likely turn to Sky Cinema or Now TV. Universal’s strategy appears to favor rental/purchase over a single streaming home.
The pattern: Universal will likely repeat the same regional split for the sequel, keeping it on a rotating set of services.
Timeline
- : Wicked premieres in theaters (Amazon News).
- : Netflix Australia adds the film (JustWatch).
- : Now TV availability confirmed in Ireland (Entertainment.ie).
- : Wicked: For Good release (Wicked Official Movie Site).
The timeline confirms a staggered rollout across regions and platforms.
What’s confirmed – and what remains unclear
What’s confirmed
- Wicked is available on Prime Video with a Prime membership (Amazon News).
- Wicked is on Sky Cinema in the UK and Ireland (Entertainment.ie).
- Wicked is on Netflix in Australia (JustWatch).
- Rental and purchase options exist on Prime Video, Apple TV, and others (JustWatch).
What’s unclear
- Will Wicked come to Disney+? No official confirmation (Wicked Official Movie Site).
- Is free streaming available? Not currently (JustWatch).
- Will the sequel appear on Netflix outside Australia? Unknown (Amazon News did not address this).
The split between confirmed and unclear highlights the fragmented rights landscape.
Perspectives from the industry
“You can watch Wicked by searching for it on Prime Video. A Prime membership is not required – customers can also rent or buy the title in the Prime Video Store.”
“Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West, and is now streaming on Amazon Prime in Ireland.”
For viewers in Ireland and the UK, the choice is straightforward: Sky Cinema or Prime Video. In Australia, Netflix is the primary option. Everywhere else, Prime Video (rental or subscription) is the most reliable path. The fragmented rights landscape means that no single platform covers all markets, but Prime Video comes closest. For the sequel Wicked: For Good, the same pattern is likely to hold – Universal’s distribution strategy keeps the film on a rotating list of services rather than a permanent home.
