The special will broadcast ahead of the Wicked sequel, Wicked: For Good, arriving in theaters Nov. 21.

Erivo, who portrays Elphaba in the musical fantasy film, and Grande, who portrays Glinda, will helm the event, which spans two hours and broadcasts from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

The special begins at 8 p.m. EDT, and will arrive on Peacock the following day, a press release states.

The stars are set to perform fan favorites from the first feature alongside "their co-stars and other surprise guests," according to an official synopsis.

NBC suggests that the duo might preview songs from the sequel.

The films take their inspiration from the 1995 book penned by Gregory Maguire and the following Broadway adaptation (2003). The first Wicked film opened in November 2024.
