by

As a fan of both Lady Gaga and the show “Wednesday”, I can hardly contain my excitement! This news has sent waves of anticipation through the fandom. With her unique talent, charisma, and knack for embodying complex characters, it’s no wonder that the creators of “Wednesday” have tapped into Gaga’s star power.

Oh my, it seems like “Wednesday” season 2 is drawing in some serious celebrity attention, as it’s now set to feature a multi-talented pop star and actress who has won both an Academy Award and a Grammy!

As per Entertainment Weekly’s report, it seems that Lady Gaga might have joined the cast for season 2 of ‘Wednesday’. However, specific details about her role haven’t been disclosed yet. Since filming for season 2 began in May 2024 and is scheduled to end by November, it appears that her part could be a brief appearance or cameo.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Lady Gaga is currently shooting her parts for the show in Europe, where Season 2 of ‘Wednesday’ has been in production in Ireland. Prior to the November 13th announcement by the outlet about Gaga’s role in ‘Wednesday’ Season 2, neither Netflix nor the pop artist herself had hinted or disclosed that she had been chosen for the part. However, this casting is thrilling and perfectly suited!

Lady Gaga joining Wednesday season 2 in mystery role

Since the release of Wednesday in November 2022, Lady Gaga has become quite associated with the show. When videos of Jenna Ortega’s dance from the series started trending on social media, they were often accompanied by the track “Bloody Mary” from Gaga’s album Born This Way (2011). This song was then re-released as a single due to its resurgence in popularity years after its initial release.

At the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, where Ortega was recognized for her series performance, she speculated about Lady Gaga potentially joining as a guest star in season 2. She compared this potential collaboration to Wednesday’s interaction with Mrs. Thornhill, played by Christina Ricci, as she shared with Variety in January 2023.

I’m sure Netflix would love that. I think Mrs. Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other in a certain way, so, if Lady Gaga were to be a part, I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other.

According to Variety, it was planned that Lady Gaga would take on a larger role in the second season of the show, but unfortunately, scheduling conflicts made this impossible. Lately, Gaga has been swamped with her work for the movie “Joker: Folie à Deux,” the album “Harlequin” companion soundtrack, her collaboration with Bruno Mars on the hit single “Die with a Smile,” and preparations for her seventh studio album in 2025, starting with the release of the single “Disease.

Lady Gaga initially appeared in a leading role for the fifth season of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series, “American Horror Story: Hotel,” which resulted in her winning a Golden Globe. Following this, she starred in “A Star is Born,” earning an Oscar nomination for Best Actress and winning for the song “Shallow.” She also appeared in “House of Gucci.” With everything that the performer touches turning into pop culture phenomenon, we’re eager to see what more Mother Monster has in store for “Wednesday” season 2 and how it will undoubtedly become a viral sensation.

In the second season, a popular music star is among several fresh faces joining an esteemed group that also includes Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, Billie Piper, Christopher Lloyd, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Joanna Lumley, and others. Additionally, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Victor Dorobantu, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo have been upgraded to main cast members.
