Overview
- Universal releases the film in Latin America on November 20 and in the United States on November 21.
- The concluding installment adapts the musical’s second act under director Jon M. Chu, reuniting Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande with the original ensemble, with Mexican leads Danna and Cecilia de la Cueva voicing the Spanish-language version.
- Stephen Schwartz adds two new songs: The Girl in the Bubble for Ariana Grande and No Place Like Home co-written and performed by Cynthia Erivo.
- Early reviews are broadly positive, noting a darker, more political approach and deeper character work, with some outlets signaling awards potential.
- The film has no post-credits scene, and projections point to a late-December digital release and a Peacock debut around March 2026, though timing remains unconfirmed.
