Lady Gaga is reportedly set to join the cast of the second season of Netflix’s hit series, Wednesday. This news comes after a version of her 2011 song “Bloody Mary,” from the album Born This Way, gained popularity among the show’s fans who paired it with images of star Jenna Ortega dancing.
Although specifics regarding the extent of Gaga’s role remain under wraps, her participation adds excitement as filming for the new season began in late April 2024 in Ireland. By August, Ortega shared that four episodes had already been filmed while promoting her upcoming project, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Gaga’s involvement in Wednesday follows her recent performance as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux, where she starred alongside Joaquin Phoenix. She has previously showcased her acting prowess in notable films such as House of Gucci and A Star Is Born.
During Netflix’s Tudum event in 2023, the Wednesday cast hinted at upcoming appearances from more members of the Addams Family. Ortega expressed enthusiasm about possibly seeing Cousin Itt, while the cast also mentioned the inclusion of Grandmama Addams, a role filled by the iconic Joanna Lumley.
The cast for Wednesday Season 2 also features Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago. New additions to the ensemble include Billie Piper as Capri, Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, along with Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.
As fans await further updates, the collaboration between Lady Gaga and the Wednesday team promises to elevate the show’s appeal, potentially bringing in her dedicated fanbase and creating fresh, engaging content for both existing enthusiasts and newcomers to the series.
This news provides a ray of optimism for fans who are eager for innovative storytelling combined with beloved pop culture icons. It raises anticipation for how Gaga’s unique talent will enrich the already compelling narrative of Wednesday.
