THE TRUTH ABOUT: Catch the new wonka musical airing on tv tonight | History Defined

Timothée Chalamet in his red coat as Willy Wonka in the 2023 Wonka musical.

Along with the likes of Barbie and Oppenheimer, the new Wonka musical was one of the biggest movies of 2023, drawing in a massive $625 million at the global box office. But if you missed out on watching Timothée Chalamet take on the role of the eponymous candy man while the film was in theaters, you can now enjoy the critically acclaimed cinematic treat from the comfort of your own couch. 

Chalamet received a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of the famous inventor-chocolatier in this prequel film, which follows Willy as a young man dreaming of opening a chocolate shop at The Galéries Gourmet. Rounding out the cast are Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Matt Lucas, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman and, hilariously, Hugh Grant as an Oompa-Loompa named Lofty.
