Cynthia Erivo is Elphaba and Ariana Grande is Glinda in "Wicked."

Shhhh…do you hear that? It's Cynthia Erivo's vibrato ringing out from the far reaches of Oz.

A new trailer previewing "Wicked: For Good," Part 2 of Jon M. Chu's wildly popular film adaptation of the legendary Broadway musical, dropped Wednesday morning, treating eager fans to an early look at Erivo's newest round of gravity-defying vocals.

The movie, set to hit theaters Nov. 21, sees Erivo return as Elphaba, the "wicked" witch, and Ariana Grande back as her bubble-gum pink foil, Glinda. Over the course of the three-minute teaser out Sept. 24, the pair are seen navigating an emotionally complex relationship, as Erivo's Elphaba leans into her villainized arc and takes aim at a fraudulent wizard, while Grande's Glinda enjoys the spoils of sainthood.

Against the backdrop of several of the musical's most famed numbers ("No Good Deed" and "For Good"), the film's headlining stars prove there is much story yet to tell. Unlike the Broadway show, which ends roughly where the first movie did, Part 2 will stretch the plot further, diving deeper into the fraught relationship shared by the opposing witches, and – from the looks of the trailer – the romantic connection between Elphaba and Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey).

The decision to split the film came at the service of a fuller plot, Chu previously said, arguing that stuffing it all into one movie would have damaged the fullness of "Wicked."

"As we prepared the production over the last year, it became impossible to wrestle the story of 'Wicked' into a single film without doing some real damage to it," Chu wrote in a social media post. "As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the source material that has entertained us all for so many years.

"We decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and make not just one 'Wicked' movie but two! With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys for these beloved characters," he continued.
