Lady Gaga teases mystery role in Wednesday Season 2

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lady Gaga has shared her excitement about working alongside Jenna Ortega in the highly anticipated second season of Wednesday.

The pop icon, who has joined the hit Netflix series in a mystery role, spoke about her experience in a recent interview while promoting her latest album.

“I don’t want to reveal anything about my role in the show—I want to keep it a surprise. But I love Jenna, and I had an amazing time!” Gaga told Entertainment Weekly.

Reports first surfaced in November that the Oscar-winning performer had been filming in Europe for the gothic drama, though details about her character and the extent of her involvement remain undisclosed.

Wednesday, which premiered in 2022, follows the titular character, played by Ortega, as she navigates life at Nevermore Academy while honing her psychic abilities.

The show quickly became a cultural sensation, featuring a cast that includes Gwendoline Christie, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the Addams Family films of the 1990s.

Ortega has previously expressed her admiration for Gaga and even hoped she would join the second season. At the 2023 Golden Globes, she speculated on how the singer might fit into the Wednesday universe.

"I'm sure Netflix would love that. Mrs Thornhill and Wednesday had this odd mentor-like connection, so if Gaga were involved, it could be two monsters who understand each other," Ortega had said.

Beyond the show, Ortega and Gaga share an indirect connection. The singer’s 2011 song Bloody Mary saw resurgence in popularity after fans paired it with Ortega’s viral dance scene from Wednesday, propelling the track back into the charts more than a decade after its release.
