That stated, he did reveal he’s working with the movies’ co-writer Winnie Holzman on concepts set on the earth of Depraved. Depending on how nicely For Good does on the field workplace, in fact, however he considers Elphaba and Glinda’s tales full, in order that potential continuation must be one thing completely different: “Not a sequel, however an adjunct,” he informed the outlet.

No matter this concept is, it’s separate from adapting post-Depraved novels that have been written by Gregory Maguire, in addition to the later Oz books written by Frank L. Baum and different writers of the unique Oz canon. The one stipulation Schwartz has proper now’s that such a undertaking exists “past merely making a living.
