As a seasoned cinephile with decades of film-watching under my belt, I must say that the news of Lady Gaga joining “Wednesday” Season 2 is nothing short of electrifying! With her versatile acting prowess and captivating presence on screen, she has consistently proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with. Her performance in “A Star Is Born” was nothing short of breathtaking, and her recent role alongside Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker: Folie à Deux” left me thoroughly impressed.


According to reports from EbMaster, Lady Gaga will be joining the cast for Season 2 of “Wednesday.

Details about Lady Gaga’s specific part have been kept secret, but reports indicate she will make an appearance during the second season of the popular Netflix series, which is currently being filmed in Ireland. It was attempted to secure her for a more substantial role in Season 2, though this plan didn’t come to fruition.

Reps for Netflix did not immediately respond to EbMaster‘s request for comment.

In her latest venture, Lady Gaga, renowned primarily for her exceptional music career, takes on a new acting role. Her recent acting stint was in “Joker: Folie à Deux,” where she shared the screen with Joaquin Phoenix. Prior to this, she earned an Academy Award nomination for best actress when she worked alongside Bradley Cooper in “A Star Is Born.” Notably, she has been nominated three times for the best original song award, one of which was for “A Star Is Born,” and she won for her work on “Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick.” Beyond these, Gaga has also appeared in films like “House of Gucci” and multiple seasons of “American Horror Story.

She is repped by CAA, Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, and ID PR.

Actress Jenna Ortega from the show “Wednesday,” previously mentioned during an interview with EbMaster, that she believes Netflix would be keen on having Lady Gaga appear in the upcoming season of the series. This suggestion came about following a dance scene in Episode 4, which gained massive popularity on TikTok after being remixed to match Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary” track.

In the upcoming Season 2, once more, Chiara Ortega will portray the cherished character Wednesday Addams from “The Addams Family,” while Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo have been promoted to permanent cast members.

In this updated show, Zeta-Jones takes on the character of Morticia, with Guzmán portraying Gomez, and Ordonez stepping into the shoes of Pugsley. Returning cast members include Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, and Georgie Farmer. Additionally, Fred Armisen and Jamie McShane will make guest appearances. New series regulars joining the cast are Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. Thandiwe Newton is also expected to appear as a guest, along with actors like Christopher Lloyd and Haley Joel Osment.

Originally premiering in November 2022, “Wednesday” made a grand entrance on Netflix and quickly gained immense popularity. It currently holds the title as Netflix’s most-watched English language series ever released, earning 12 Emmy nominations and taking home four awards. However, production for Season 2 was postponed due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes that halted a significant portion of Hollywood in 2023.
