Lady Gaga is set to make a cameo appearance in the second season of Netflix’s Wednesday, according to reports from Variety. This marks her first acting role since her performance in Joker: Folie à Deux. While the details of her character remain undisclosed, it has been revealed that Gaga’s role will be a cameo rather than a larger part, as the show’s production team had initially hoped.
The announcement comes after Gaga’s 2011 hit song “Bloody Mary” gained renewed popularity on TikTok, where it was paired with Jenna Ortega’s viral dance from the first season of Wednesday. This resurgence likely contributed to the decision to include Gaga in the show. Ortega, who stars as Wednesday Addams, had previously expressed her desire to see Gaga join the cast, and it seems that wish has come true.
The second season of Wednesday is currently being filmed in Ireland and promises to be darker than its predecessor. Ortega described the new season as “bolder” and “more horror-inspired.” The production is expected to wrap up soon, with a tentative release date set for late 2025.
Gaga is no stranger to dark roles. She previously starred in American Horror Story: Hotel, where she played a vampire named Elizabeth Johnson. Her experience with complex characters makes her a fitting addition to the quirky ensemble of Wednesday, which features werewolves, sirens, and other gothic figures.
In addition to her cameo in Wednesday, Gaga’s recent work includes her role in Joker: Folie à Deux, where she played Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Although the sequel received mixed reviews, it showcased her ability to delve into psychologically intense roles.
The upcoming season of Wednesday will also feature a star-studded guest list, including Haley Joel Osment and Christopher Lloyd.
Meanwhile, regular cast members such as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán have been promoted to series regulars.
As fans eagerly await more details about Gaga’s appearance and the new season’s storyline, it’s clear that her involvement adds an exciting layer to this already popular series. With its blend of horror and humor, Wednesday continues to captivate audiences, and Lady Gaga’s cameo is sure to generate buzz when it finally airs.
