Ariana Grande is dancing through life and into her next movie role.
Ahead of audiences witnessing the reprisal of her Oscar-nominated role as Glinda in Wicked: For Good, the Grammy winner confirmed she will star in the animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ beloved children’s book Oh, the Places You’ll Go!.
In her announcement shared to Instagram July 15, Ariana posed in the voice recording studio, hiding behind her script binder alongside costar Josh Gad. She also tagged her Wicked director Jon M. Chu, who will helm the movie alongside co-director Jill Culton.
Warner Bros. confirmed in a post to X (formerly Twitter) that original music from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul—EGOT winners who wrote the music for La La Land and The Greatest Showman—will be featured in the animated movie, which is set to be released in 2028.
Weeks before Ariana’s not-so-grinchy announcement, E! News confirmed her first post-Wicked project will be the fourth installment of the Meet the Parents franchise. The “We Can’t Be Friends” singer is set to appear in that movie—out November 2026—alongside its original stars, including Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller, who gushed about Ariana’s comedic chops.
