Netflix has confirmed that Lady Gaga will be a part of Wednesday Season 2, the gothic teen series centered around Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Jenna Ortega. The show, which became a cultural sensation with its debut in 2022, is now upping the ante with the inclusion of the multitalented star.

Though her role is being kept under wraps, early reports hint at Gaga playing a powerful new character tied to Nevermore Academy—possibly a new faculty member or rival psychic. Her character is expected to challenge Wednesday both intellectually and emotionally, adding tension and unpredictability to the storyline.

Fans of the series will remember that Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary” went viral on TikTok in 2022 due to a fan-made dance edit that many mistook as the show’s official track. Gaga even joined in the trend, further linking her to the series' dark, stylish aesthetic. Her casting now feels like a full-circle moment—and a strategic nod to her massive fanbase.

Jenna Ortega will return as the sarcastic and sharp-witted Wednesday Addams, and the second season is rumored to delve deeper into the supernatural underbelly of Nevermore. Executive producers Tim Burton and Alfred Gough teased that Season 2 will explore more of Wednesday's relationships and her internal battle between solitude and connection—something Gaga’s character may force her to confront.

Known for her transformative acting in A Star Is Born and House of Gucci, Gaga’s involvement promises a bold, dramatic flair. Her theatrical presence and darkly glamorous persona seem tailor-made for the show's eerie, eccentric world.

With filming set to begin this summer, Wednesday Season 2 is expected to premiere in 2026. Until then, speculation will continue to swirl over Gaga’s character and the role she’ll play in Wednesday Addams' twisted journey.
