Lady Gaga is confirmed to make a cameo appearance in Season 2 of the Netflix hit series “Wednesday.” Although the specifics of her role remain undisclosed, insider sources indicate that her involvement comes as part of ongoing filming currently taking place in Ireland. Initially, the production team had hoped to secure a more prominent role for Gaga, but those plans did not materialize.
Gaga, renowned for her iconic music career, is gradually expanding her filmography. Her recent acting credits include a role in “Joker: Folie à Deux,” where she stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix. She previously earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance in “A Star Is Born,” and has seen significant success with her music, winning an Oscar for Best Original Song. Gaga has also made notable appearances in “House of Gucci” and various seasons of “American Horror Story.”
In addition to Gaga, the cast of “Wednesday” will see familiar faces returning, including Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, and Luis Guzmán as Gomez, among others vying for series regular roles. The show has continued to build on its success since its premiere in November 2022, where it quickly became Netflix’s most-watched English-language show and received 12 Emmy nominations.
The anticipation for Season 2 has heightened, particularly following Jenna Ortega’s comment that Netflix would be eager to have Gaga involved after a dance scene from the show went viral on TikTok, set to Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary.”
Despite delays in production due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes that affected Hollywood in 2023, fans can look forward to a star-studded lineup and exciting new elements in the upcoming season.
This addition of Lady Gaga could indeed bring a unique flavor to the show, and given her immense popularity, it may also draw more viewers to “Wednesday,” potentially leading to fresh creative directions for the series.
