TL;DR Google has discontinued the Wicked theme pack for Pixel devices.
However, it says, “new theme packs are coming.”
Google has also dropped more hints about upcoming AI-based icon theming, which could arrive soon but would require Android 17 to work.
For years now, customization has been a key focus for Android. While Android gives you granular controls over how each and every aspect of the phone looks, Google recently also added the option to apply themes to your Pixels using a single tap. That includes changing everything from the wallpaper, lock screen, audio, clock styles, accent colors, icon themes, and more. Today, we’re learning two key updates for theme packs on Pixel devices.
As part of the November Pixel Drop, Google added a new option to apply system-wide themes using theme packs. The first theme pack it released was to promote the theatrical release of Wicked: For Good, featuring Ariana Grande. Those, sadly, are going away.

As part of this release, Google brought in three new theme packs that users could download and apply to their Pixel devices. However, a few months after release, Google is now pulling these themes, and they’re no longer available for download. If you downloaded them earlier, you’ll continue to have them.
If you missed downloading these themes earlier, you’ll be glad to know you’ll have access to new ones soon. Although the Wicked themes are no longer available, the theme pack section says new themes are coming soon. Unfortunately, there’s no information on when these new themes arrive.
