Lady Gaga is set to return to her horror roots. Fresh off the release of her latest single “Disease,” the singer and actress has been tapped to join Jenna Ortega in the highly anticipated Wednesday Season 2.
Following her role as Harleen Quinzel in this year’s Joker: Folie à Deux, the Grammy and Academy Award-winning artist will be joining Ortega in the second season of the hit Netflix series.
Entertainment Weekly reported Lady Gaga’s involvement in Wednesday Season 2, though details about her role are still being kept close to the vest. The outlet also added that the singer is currently filming the second season in Europe.
The announcement comes over a year after Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary” went viral after fans of the show combined it with a clip of Ortega’s Wednesday Addams dancing. You can watch the dance scene down below:
Lady Gaga is also known for her avant-garde and macabre music videos — a style that complements the Wednesday series. Though the artist previously toned it down (albeit still with a Lady Gaga touch in it), the singer recently returned to what she is most known for with the music video release of “Disease.”
Lady Gaga also starred in Machete Kills, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, American Horror Story: Hotel, American Horror Story: Roanoke, A Star Is Born, House of Gucci, and the second Joker movie.
What to expect in Wednesday Season 2?
No exact release date has been set yet for Wednesday Season 2, but it is expected to arrive on the streamer sometime in 2025. Apart from Ortega, most Season 1 cast members are also returning for Season 2 including Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Emma Myers, among others.
The second season will also feature new faces, including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor, with Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo guest starring.
Other than the returning and new cast members, some details about Wednesday Season 2 remain under wraps.
