The countdown has begun: the second season of Wednesday is about to return with its second and final part, and this time it comes with a new addition that’s already sending fans into a frenzy. Lady Gaga, pop icon and chameleonic actress, joins the cast for the second season of the Netflix series helmed by Tim Burton, alongside the ever-mesmerizing Jenna Ortega.
The new season features an even darker, gothic, and visionary atmosphere, just like Lady Gaga’s new single, released alongside the series and featured on the soundtrack. TRAILER at the end]
Lady Gaga at Nevermore Academy
It’s official: Lady Gaga will be part of the Wednesday 2 cast, specifically in the episodes streaming from September 3, 2025. The pop star, already acclaimed for her acting in A Star Is Born and Joker: Folie à Deux, is now set to take on a new role in the world of the Addams Family, promising a mix of extravagance, unease, and dark-horror style that fits perfectly with her artistic evolution.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Gaga confessed: ““I don’t want to give away anything about being part of the show. I want to keep it extra secret — but, I love Jenna, and I really had an amazing time!.” That’s all it takes to spark fans’ curiosity, who are already excited to see her in the halls of Nevermore Academy.
A wish come true
The idea of seeing Gaga in Wednesday didn’t come out of nowhere. Back in 2023, after Jenna Ortega’s viral dance to the remixed notes of “Bloody Mary”, fans loudly requested the singer’s participation in the series. And Ortega herself was enthusiastic: “If she joins the cast, I see her perfectly as a monster who understands Wednesday, a kindred creature”. Netflix listened – and responded with a casting to scream about.
A star-studded cast for an even more gothic season
Alongside Jenna Ortega and the queen of Pop, Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia), Luis Guzmán (Gomez), and Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley) will all return, with high-profile new entries like Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd, and Thandiwe Newton. The cast is further enriched by Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. This ensemble promises to make this season even more ambitious, surreal, and magnetic.
Who will Lady Gaga be in Wednesday 2?
Lady Gaga will play Rosaline Rotwood, a new teacher at Nevermore Academy who will make her debut in the second part of Wednesday 2 on Netflix. Fans have started speculating: the most popular theory is that behind the figure of Rosaline Rotwood is actually Ophelia Frump, Wednesday’s eccentric aunt known for her past as an opera singer.
Lady Gaga’s dark transformation
After making waves as Harley Quinn in the Joker sequel and releasing increasingly dark and theatrical music videos like “Disease”, Lady Gaga continues her artistic metamorphosis in the world of the gothic and bizarre. Her arrival in Wednesday isn’t just a plot twist: it’s a natural evolution of a career that constantly defies definition.
When does the second part of Wednesday 2 come out on Netflix?
Mark your calendars. Part 1: from August 6, 2025; Part 2: from September 3, 2025. The new season will be available exclusively on Netflix, ready to make millions of viewers around the world fall in love (and shiver) all over again.
