Lady Gaga joins ‘Wednesday’ season 2 with Jenna Ortega (exclusive)

After Lady Gaga‘s 2011 hit “Bloody Mary” went viral when Wednesday fans spliced it together with a clip of Jenna Ortega dancing in the hit Netflix seres, Entertainment Weekly has exclusively learned through a source that Gaga will appear in a role on season 2 of the TV show.

Full details of Gaga’s role are still unknown, though the singer-actress is currently filming the show in Europe.

EW has reached out to representatives for Gaga and Netflix for comment.

Ortega launched the Addams Family-inspired series in 2022 at the streaming giant, with the program courting a large following as it told the story of the titular character, Wednesday Addams, across her formative years as a student and a budding psychic.

Gwendoline Christie, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and 1991 Addams Family movie actress Christina Ricci also star in the project, which is set to release its second season in the near future.

At the Golden Globes in January 2023, Ortega revealed that she wanted Gaga to join season 2 of the show, and even mapped out a potential storyline for Mother Monster.

“I’m sure Netflix would love that,” Ortega told Variety at the time. “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.”

In addition to film roles in movies like the Oscar-winning A Star Is Born, House of Gucci, and this year’s Joker: Folie à Deux, Gaga previously worked on television across season 5 of American Horror Story, for which she won a Golden Globe.

Gaga is also currently at work on her upcoming seventh solo album of pop material, which is slated for release in February 2025, and was preceded by lead single “Disease” in October.

One month prior, Gaga told EW that current projects confronted her past pain over early fame — particularly her Joker companion album Harlequin.

“Playing a strung-out girl my whole career was a way for me to split off from my true self, but, it’s all me,” she said at the time. “Basically, that song says if I was ever going to find joy or happiness in my life, it would probably feel like an accident. Where I was in my life for a long time, I was on a path that was pretty futile because I was so split off from reality. My dedicated fans know this about me, that playing a persona had a price, and it has a price for Lee and her love of Joker. There’s definitely a way that I address that on this record.”
