The network has set the broadcast premiere of Wicked for Nov. 19, two days ahead of For Good's debut on movie screens. The presentation will run 3 1/2 hours with commercials, starting at 8 p.m. ET. The NBC airing of Wicked is part of a big promotional push leading up to For Good, which comes from corporate sibling Universal Pictures. The network is also airing a two-hour musical special, titled Wicked: One Wonderful Night, on Nov. 6 that will feature performances from castmembers Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang and Marissa Bode, along with interviews and behind-the-scenes glimpses. (Outside the NBCUniversal family, the movie also got some free publicity from ABC's Dancing With the Stars, which had a Wicked-themed night on Tuesday.)

It won the Oscars for costume design and production design. Wicked: For Good, directed by Jon M. Chu, arrives in theaters on Nov. 21.
