Wicked on Sky Cinema-next Friday 11th

RileyBSL — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 08:01:34 GMT

Good morning all.

I have seen that Wicked will be shown next Friday at 8pm on: Sky Cinema Premiere, Sky Cinema Select and Sky Cinema Hits.

I know that Sky Cinema Hits will show a singalong version, but:

what about Sky Cinema Select, could they potentially have a signed version or a different version to this

We’re pleased to confirm that Wicked, the highly anticipated musical fantasy, will premiere on Sky Cinema next week — and a British Sign Language (BSL) Interpreted version will be available for Deaf and Hard of Hearing viewers.

Wicked follows the story of Elphaba, a young woman who is unfairly ridiculed for her green skin, and Galinda, a popular and ambitious student. The two meet at Shiz University in the Land of Oz, where their friendship is tested following a life-changing encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Cast includes: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande-Butera, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.

BSL Interpreted Version Details – Wicked (Signed):

Friday 11th July at 8:00pm
Channel: Sky Cinema Select HD (temporarily labelled Sky Cinema 2025 Recap HD)
Repeat broadcast: Saturday 12th July at 5:20pm on the same channel

Available on Sky platforms:

Sky Q – Channel 302
Sky Glass – Channel 302
Sky Stream – Channel 302

Download option available:
If you have a Sky Cinema subscription and use Sky Q, Sky Glass or Sky Stream, you can download the Signed version. Just search for Wicked (Signed) using the search bar on your device.

Subscription Notice:
A Sky Cinema subscription is required to view or download Wicked (Signed). Please ensure your subscription is active ahead of the broadcast.

This is the second BSL Interpreted movie to be shown on Sky Cinema this year, following Anora. It's an important step forward for accessibility in entertainment on Sky platforms.

Special thanks to Francesca Bussey and the team behind this accessibility initiative. Their ongoing work continues to improve inclusive access to Sky Cinema for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.

We hope to see even more British Sign Language Interpreted films coming soon.

Notably both Universal UK releases, i wonder if Nosferatu and The Brutalist will be available in BSL in a couple of months or so.

Weirdly, as of 16:00 11/07 the Sing along version is available in UHD HDR, but the regular version is only in UHD... no HDR option.

wonder if it will become available later in?

Wicked no HDR

NewtonBoy — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 18:06:39 GMT

The regular version of Wicked is only available in UHD, but the Sing-Along version is UHD and HDR.

Will the HDR version be added?

Wicked - UHD version without HDR

hrai — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 06:53:26 GMT

For some reason whilst the sing-a-along version is available in UHD with HDR it looks like the "normal" version is UHD only?

This seems a bit odd to say the least. I'm guessing that Sky can only show what Universal give them at least this week's Poker Face finale was the full works !

Re: Wicked - UHD version without HDR

RileyBSL — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 13:39:56 GMT

but now, the most inportant question is: has the Signed version got the UHD and HDR combined?

Re: Wicked - UHD version without HDR

badmelonfarmer — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 13:59:02 GMT

HD for the BSL version, as of now

Re: Wicked on Sky Cinema-next Friday 11th

badmelonfarmer — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 16:01:27 GMT

HDR version is now available, BSL still only HD

Re: Wicked - Closed Captions / Subtitles

Serieslink1 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 14:38:22 GMT

No it doesn't have subtitles as I tried twice. Very annoying of sky

While that is great for those who sign... I and my family do not sign. So we do not want to have that on our screen. To then find out the non BSL version is now only on UHD which costs more is very disappointing 😞

You should be able to download it in HD without signing. I've just tested it and there's no signing. How are you accessing it?
