We’re not saying goodbye to anything. These characters will be a part of our hearts always. They’ve changed our lives irrevocably and permanently, and I’m so grateful for that.”While Universal Studio— which is producing the Wicked films — has not officially greenlit a third installment Grande’s comments have opened the door to the possibility.
