The Wicked Years is a tetralogy by Gregory Maguire. It is a Twice-Told Tale on L. Frank Baum's classic Land of Oz books. Unlike its source material, The Wicked Years are certainly not a children's tale.The series starts with 1995's Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch, which tells the story of Elphaba Thropp, better known as the Wicked Witch of the West, from birth to death. Its sequel, Son of a Witch, revolves around Elphaba's (possible) son Liir, the third novel A Lion Among Men is about the Cowardly Lion, and the fourth and final book Out of Oz is about Liir's daughter Rain.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Wicked Years is one of the most well-known and commercially successful Oz derivative works. It's been praised for its dark take on the franchise. The series takes elements from both the 1939 MGM film and the original books, making it easy to grasp whether you prefer Baum's books or know nothing of them. The first book has been adapted into a hit Broadway musical and a film adaptation has been in the works for many years (with the current release date currently 'on hold' due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Books: Wicked (1995) Son of a Witch (2005) A Lion Among Men (2008) Out of Oz (2011) Tales Told in Oz (2012; a compilation of Ozian folk-lore and fairy-tales) | |

Age Lift | |
| The Wicked Years / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: In the original book, the Wicked Witch of the West is so old that all the blood has dried up in her body long ago. In The Wicked Years, Elphaba is 38 when she dies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Adaptation Amalgamation | |
| The Wicked Years / int_5ee26f31 | comment |
Adaptation Amalgamation: It uses many elements from the MGM film (most noticeably, the Wicked Witch's design) but also features numerous references from the books. It even takes a bit from Return to Oz. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job: Glinda is redheaded in the original books but is blonde in The Wicked Years. Dorothy is described as having dark hair, going with the original illustrations rather than her blonde interpretation from most of the books. | |
