Have you seen stories about 'Chucky,' 'Scream,' 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' 'The Boys,' 'Vanderpump Rules,' or any of 'The Real Housewives' franchises? That's probably a Britta DeVore-curated piece of art, and it sounds like you have great taste.

When she isn't sitting behind her laptop bringing readers her hot takes on upcoming projects or keeping the dream alive in the Senior News team, Britta can usually be found outside hiking or inside behind her drum set. She currently plays in two bands, Kid Midnight and Watergate, both based in Brooklyn. An obsessive traveler, Britta loves long road trips to the South West and has a soft spot in her heart for canyons, rivers, and forests.

She also has a tiny cat named Athena that she loves more than anything else in the world and is always happy for new brewery recs.

This Friday, Wicked fans can finally have the sing-a-long watch-a-thon they’ve been waiting for when Wicked: For Good soars onto Peacock. Four months following the sequel’s cinematic arrival, audiences can finally complete the story of the two witches from Oz from the comfort of their own homes. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the film picks up following the events of the 2024 box office dominating picture from Jon M. Chu follows the pair’s magically inclined characters — Elphaba and Glinda, respectively — after they make decisions that will forever change their lives. Throughout the second film, we watch as those choices shape the duo’s futures and how — through even the worst heartache and sacrifice — they remain friends for good.

In addition to Erivo and Grande reprising their roles from the first film, Wicked: For Good features a multitude of returning performers to the fold. Included in the lineup is Jeff Goldblum (The Fly) as The Wizard, Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) as Fiyero, Ethan Slater (Gen V) as Boq, Marissa Bode (No Roles Written) as Nessa Rose, Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Madame Morrible, Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) as Pfannee and Bronwyn James (Harlots) as ShenShen, with Colman Domingo (Euphoria) joining as the Cowardly Lion.

Beyond being able to stream Wicked: For Good on Friday, audiences will also be invited to step behind the curtain and go on a backstage tour alongside Goldblum thanks to a featurette titled The Road to Wicked: For Good. Today, Collider has an exclusive first look at the all-access pass that follows the making of the blockbuster film that changed how musical adaptations will be made moving forward. Walking viewers around the set, Goldblum shows off the magical design that went into making the visually stunning film. From brooms that float to handles and gears that drive machinery, everything under the sun can be found in the Wizard’s lair.
