Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that Lady Gaga will join the second season of Wednesday on Netflix, starring alongside Jenna Ortega. The singer-actress, currently filming her scenes in Europe, will take on an undisclosed role. This casting aligns with Ortega’s previous wish to see Gaga on the show, possibly as a character with a “monster-like” connection to her role, Wednesday Addams.
A Viral Connection and Fan Demand
Gaga’s casting follows a viral moment when her song “Bloody Mary” was used by fans to accompany Ortega’s iconic dance scene in season 1. Ortega even hinted at a storyline where Gaga’s character might share a bond with Wednesday, akin to the complex dynamic she had with Christina Ricci’s character, Mrs. Thornhill.
Lady Gaga’s Expanding Acting Portfolio
Adding Wednesday to her filmography, Gaga has previously starred in A Star Is Born and House of Gucci and won a Golden Globe for American Horror Story. Besides acting, she’s working on her seventh studio album, set for release in February 2025. Her latest single, “Disease,” dropped last month, with an alternate “The Antidote” edition following soon after.
With a career that spans music, film, and TV, Gaga’s addition to Wednesday has only heightened fan excitement for season 2’s release.
