Cynthia Erivo is back as the misunderstood green witch, now officially known as the Wicked Witch of the West, with Ariana Grande joining her as former best friend and current Wizard spokesperson, Glinda the Good.

Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey is also back as Fiyero Tigelaar, as are Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard and Ethan Slater as Boq Woodsman.

The trailer hints at the repercussions of what transpired at the end of Part One, with Elphaba on the run after being branded an enemy of the state, and Fiyero out looking for her.

Glinda, on the other hand, has embraced the Wizard and appears set to go on a journey to discover what "good" means.

The film is scheduled to release in November, exactly one year after the first part arrived in cinemas.

Of course, we can expect some iconic tunes to bring the story to life, including favourites from the musical such as No Good Deed, As Long As You're Mine and For Good – the latter of which y0u can hear a glimpse of in the newly released clip.

The movie will also feature two new songs written by the Broadway musical's original composer and lyricist, Stephen Schwartz.
