Lady Gaga is set to make a significant appearance in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s hit series, “Wednesday.” The acclaimed Oscar and Grammy-winning artist will join the production, which is currently underway in Ireland. While details about Gaga’s specific role remain under wraps, her involvement adds excitement to a season already brimming with new talent.
Interestingly, Gaga has a connection to “Wednesday” beyond her upcoming role. A remix of her song “Bloody Mary” gained viral popularity when it was played during a memorable dance scene featuring Jenna Ortega in the first season.
Gaga is not the only new addition to the cast. Season two will also feature notable names including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor as series regulars. The guest cast will include Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, and others, further enriching the show’s lineup.
This news follows Gaga’s recent work in “Joker: Folie à Deux,” and her impressive array of film and TV credits, including “A Star Is Born,” “House of Gucci,” and two seasons of “American Horror Story.”
Netflix teased fans with a behind-the-scenes video of “Wednesday’s” production, in which Ortega humorously remarked that revealing more would be too much for viewers. Alongside Ortega, returning cast members include Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who will continue their journeys at Nevermore Academy.
The first season of “Wednesday” has set records as Netflix’s most popular English-language TV series based on viewing hours within its first 13 weeks. The creative team behind the show includes notable figures such as Tim Burton, Al Gough, and Miles Millar, with Ortega stepping into a producer role for the new season.
This announcement is an exciting development for fans of both Lady Gaga and “Wednesday,” promising to deliver even more thrilling content in this eagerly awaited season.
In a hopeful note, this collaboration highlights the intersection of music and television, showcasing how influential artists like Gaga can bring something special to popular shows, enhancing the viewing experience for fans worldwide.
