The recent Netflix adaptation stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, and season one captivated millions with its dark humor and gripping mystery. Now, with news of Lady Gaga’s involvement, the buzz around season two is reaching new heights.
Gaga Joins the Creepy and Spooky Cast
Fans of Wednesday had been speculating for months about possible new cast members for season two, and Lady Gaga’s name frequently came up. Gaga, who has already proven her acting chops in A Star is Born (2018) and House of Gucci (2021), seems like a perfect fit for the dark, offbeat world of the Addams Family.
In fact, her inclusion in the show feels almost serendipitous. Her song “Bloody Mary” went viral after fans paired it with a scene of Jenna Ortega dancing as Wednesday, perfectly capturing the character’s eerie allure.

Jenna Ortega Hinted at Gaga’s Potential Role
The possibility of Lady Gaga joining Wednesday isn’t entirely out of the blue. Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday Addams, previously expressed her excitement at the idea of Gaga entering the Addams Family universe.
In a 2023 interview at the Golden Globe Awards, Ortega said,
“I’m sure Netflix would love that. I think Mrs. Thornhill [Christina Ricci’s character] 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.”
Fans immediately latched onto Ortega’s comments, sparking rumors and fan theories. Now that Gaga is officially part of season two, speculation has only intensified as fans wonder what type of “monster” Gaga might portray and how her character will interact with Wednesday. Will she be a friend, a mentor, or perhaps a mysterious new foe?

What We Know About Season 2 So Far
Though specific details about Gaga’s role remain a mystery, filming has reportedly begun in Europe.
Along with Lady Gaga, several cast members from season one will return to reprise their roles. Catherine Zeta-Jones will once again play Morticia Addams, with Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo returning as Sheriff’s Deputy Ritchie Santiago. These beloved characters set the stage for more family dynamics and new adventures at Nevermore Academy.
Wednesday, season one set a Netflix record for the most hours watched in a single week for an English-language series, with 341 million hours viewed. With Lady Gaga on board, Wednesday’s second season has the potential to surpass the high bar set by its first season. As Netflix and the show’s creators reveal more about her character, fans around the world can expect even more anticipation.
