Lady Gaga is set to make an appearance in Wednesday Season 2, adding even more star power to the hit Netflix series. The pop icon will join Jenna Ortega, who returns as the titular character, in a cameo that has fans buzzing with excitement. Here’s everything we know so far about Gaga’s involvement and what it could mean for the new season.
Lady Gaga’s Cameo in Wednesday Season 2
Lady Gaga’s acting career has been on an impressive trajectory, with recent roles including her portrayal of Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux, opposite Joaquin Phoenix. The singer-turned-actress has also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her role in A Star Is Born, alongside Bradley Cooper. Now, Gaga is bringing her talents to the Wednesday universe in what is expected to be a thrilling cameo in the second season.
Filming for Wednesday Season 2 began in Ireland in April 2024, and although details of her role remain under wraps, it is confirmed that she will join the returning cast, including Ortega, Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Isaac Ordonez. According to Variety, the show’s producers originally hoped to cast Gaga in a more significant role, but her cameo is still being kept secret for now.
The new season, which continues to explore the quirky, dark world of the Addams Family, promises to introduce several new characters, some of which will likely be a perfect fit for Gaga’s larger-than-life presence. Fans are eager to see how the singer, known for her eclectic style, will blend into the gothic atmosphere of the show.
The Mystery of Lady Gaga’s Character
While the specifics of Lady Gaga’s character remain a mystery, her potential role has been the subject of much speculation. The Addams Family universe is full of eccentric and unforgettable characters, and Gaga’s involvement raises questions about which role she might play.
The show’s creators have kept tight-lipped about the details, but the possibility of her playing a supernatural or monstrous character is high, considering the themes of Wednesday. In fact, Ortega herself weighed in on the potential for Gaga’s character to align with the quirky world of Wednesday Addams. During an interview in 2023, Ortega remarked, “If Lady Gaga were to be a part of it, [Gaga’s character and Wednesday] would have to be two monsters who understand each other.”
This idea of two “monsters” connecting seems fitting, given both characters’ unique identities within the dark and eerie Addams Family universe. Fans are particularly excited to see how Gaga and Ortega will interact on screen, especially after Gaga’s 2011 hit Bloody Mary went viral alongside a fan-edited clip of Wednesday’s iconic dance sequence from the first season. The viral connection between the two stars has only fueled the speculation that they are destined to share scenes together.
New Faces and Possibilities for Season 2
Wednesday Season 2 is shaping up to be a memorable one, with several exciting additions to the cast. In addition to Gaga, the show is expected to introduce more characters that will expand the Addams Family’s eccentric world. Ortega’s character Wednesday, of course, will continue her dark journey, while fans can also look forward to the return of beloved characters like Morticia and Gomez Addams, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán, respectively.
While some fans have expressed their desire to see new faces like Cousin Itt or Grandmama Addams (who was voiced by Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley), the biggest surprise so far is Lady Gaga’s involvement. Her inclusion in the series shows just how much the show has captivated audiences, blending elements of gothic humor with pop culture references.
Wednesday Season 2 is shaping up to be a thrilling ride, with Lady Gaga’s secret role adding even more anticipation. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the new season, which promises to bring even more unexpected twists and turns to the Addams Family saga.
