Cynthia Erivo Co-Wrote an Original Song for ‘Wicked Part 2’: ‘I Don’t Know If You’re Ready for It’

Ariana Grande at the MTV Video Music Awards 2025 held at UBS Arena on September 07, 2025 in New York, New York.

‘Wicked: For Good’ Director Jon M. Chu Previews Two New Songs From Anticipated Sequel: ‘They’re Questioning, ‘What Is Home?’

Arriving Nov. 21 — the same day that the Wicked sequel is set to hit theaters this fall — the soundtrack will include a total of 11 songs. In addition to the already beloved titles that will transfer over from the Wicked Broadway musical’s soundtrack, such as “Thank Goodness/I Couldn’t Be Happier,” “As Long as You’re Mine” and “For Good,” the upcoming film will have two original works specially written for the screen adaptation.

“I’m especially happy that the soundtrack album for Wicked: For Good has so much new music on it,” said Stephen Schwartz, who composed the score for the Wicked stage production and has worked on the music for the movies, in a statement. “In addition to two brand new songs, there is a lot that’s new in several other existing songs. So not only listeners coming to the score for the first time, but longtime fans of the original Broadway cast album will have a great deal to discover.”

Cynthia Erivo will perform the first all-new track, titled “No Place Like Home.” In a Variety podcast interview in December, the actress — who plays Elphaba in the Wicked films — teased that the added ballad is sure to be emotional.

“I don’t know if you’re ready for it,” she said at the time, noting that she helped write the track with Schwartz. “I feel like the song is very, very special. I have a feeling that even the title will move you.”

Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda, will sing the other new song, which is called “The Girl in the Bubble.”

The Wicked: For Good soundtrack certainly has big ruby red shoes to fill, as the first Wicked‘s corresponding album — which dropped alongside the film in November 2024 — entered at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. In doing so, it secured the highest ever debut for a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical on the chart.

Zendaya’s Rue Is on the Run in New ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Trailer

Published

on

By

Television this year is about to get turned up a few notches, as Euphoria is slated to return with season three on April 12 following a four-year hiatus. HBO released a second trailer for the Zendaya-starring show on Monday (March 30).

The high-school days seem to be long in the rearview mirror, as season three feels more like a set of Grand Theft Auto campaign missions and takes place about five years post graduation.

The clip kicks off with Rue (Zendaya) being interrogated by authorities about a recent trip to Mexico. The scene pivots to her involvement with a Mexican drug lord, which finds Rue in a tricky predicament of having to swallow what appears to be a ball of drugs and act as a mule.

Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Cassie’s (Sydney Sweeney) toxic relationship ended with wedding bells, as the trailer shows the couple getting married, which is sure to come with plenty of drama. Maddie (Alexa Demie) also hops behind the camera to direct some adult content photo shoots for Cassie, who has rekindled their friendship.

Lexi (Maude Apatow) looks to have landed her dream job working on the set of a TV show. Euphoria also welcomes the returns of the late Eric Dane (who portrays Cal Jacobs), Colman Domingo (Ali), Dominic Fike (Elliot), Hunter Schafer (Jules) and Chloe Cherry (Faye).

“Mom, I really need to come home,” a teary-eyed Rue pleads with her mother. The superstar actress is also seen in the trailer being pulled over by police during a traffic stop, which appears to lead to the intense interrogation.

There’s also some new blood injected into season three, which will find appearances from Sharon Stone, former NFL star Marshawn Lynch, Rosalía, Danielle Deadwyler, Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne and Eli Roth.

Season two aired in 2022, which came three years after a dynamic opening season in 2019.

Watch the Euphoria trailer above. Season three returns on April 12 on HBO, with the eight-episode season set to wrap on May 31.

The third and final day of the 2026 Tecate Pa’l Norte festival on Sunday (March 29) brought the triumphant return of The Killers to Monterrey, Mexico — with plenty of music and Spanish dialogues from lead singer Brandon Flowers — as well as the comeback of Zoé after an eight-year absence, and the energy of singer-songwriter Halsey, who celebrated the Mexican rock trio The Warning as “hometown heroes.”

Panteón Rococó added a festive touch to close out the marathon day with its brand of ska, and Djo took the audience on a musical journey filled with synthesizers and melodic guitars, creating an intimate moment full of nostalgia and joy. Molotov stood out with their punk rock and irreverent lyrics, while the veteran band Los Cardenales de Nuevo León reaffirmed their status as legends of regional Mexican music.

Among the surprises the festival offered was a performance by the female duo Los Horóscopos de Durango, as well as a ‘90s party brought to life by bands such as OV7, Magneto and JNS.

In total, Tecate Pa’l Norte 2026 brought together approximately 300,000 people over its three days, according to estimates from the organizers based on figures recorded in recent years. In its 14th edition, the acclaimed festival — founded by Apodaca Group and in recent years associated with promoter Ocesa — was held from March 27 to March 29 at Parque Fundidora in this city bordering the United States.
