A new addition to Wednesday provides an exciting opportunity for the Addam Family-inspired Netflix series. Lady Gaga has officially joined Wednesday’s cast. Her role is a dream come true for fans, especially considering Gaga recreated the famous season one dance. Since then, fans and series lead Jenna Ortega have wanted Gaga to be a part of the show. Wednesday season 2 is currently filming the second season in Europe and is expected to be released on Netflix sometime in 2025.

Jenna Ortega wished for Lady Gaga to be in Wednesday, and now her wish has been granted. The Wednesday series cast has already added notable actors to season 2, such as Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd, Thandiwe Newton, and Haley Joel Osment, to name a few. The addition of Gaga has raised the excitement surrounding the second season to even further heights. In fact, her role creates an opportunity to create a moment even more sensational than season 1’s famous dance.

Lady Gaga’s Wednesday Role Means Season 2 Can Have An Even Better Dance Scene

The famous Jenna Ortega dance in Wednesday is, by far, the most well-known segment of the series. The scene during the school dance in episode four skyrocketed the show’s already insane popularity. When social media spliced together the viral dance scene and Lady Gaga’s 2011 “Bloody Mary” song, it caught the pop star’s attention. She recreated the dance on her TikTok, and speculation about her being connected to the show began. Now that Lady Gaga is in the series, the potential to create an interesting, meta moment in season 2 is now very much in the cards.

Depending on the role Gaga plays and the story’s structure, a redux of the dance scene with Gaga and Ortega is now on the table. A scene involving their two characters in a dance number would blow the internet up and create a moment fans have longed for since Gaga’s TikTok video. The cherry on top of a scene like this would be a Lady Gaga song playing in the background.

Even If Lady Gaga’s Wednesday Season 2 Role Isn’t Musical, It’s Still Genius Casting

Even if a scene of Ortega and Gaga dancing together doesn’t happen, adding Gaga to Wednesday is a stroke of genius. The musician has accumulated an impressive resume in the acting field. She starred in the fifth and sixth seasons of FX’s American Horror Story, for which she earned a Golden Globe. She made her feature film debut with Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born and Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci. Her latest project, Joker: Folie a Deux, received very negative reactions from critics and fans, although most agree that Gaga’s performance was positive.

Her time on American Horror Story will also be helpful, given the supernatural and horror elements Wednesday implements.

With Gaga looking to rebound after the disappointment of Joker, becoming a part of a series like Wednesday is perfect for her. The series includes a lot of gothic themes and imagery, which Gaga has been known to use in both her music and fashion. Her time on American Horror Story will also be helpful, given the supernatural and horror elements Wednesday implements. She will easily fit into the series and quickly rebound after the Folie a Deux debacle.

The addition of Lady Gaga for Wednesday is perfection. The musician/actress has had plenty of experience in movies and shows revolving around similar ideas. Her acting skill is improving with each project as the pop star has become a dual threat in Hollywood. It will be a dream come true for fans when Jenna Ortega and Gaga will share screen time on the project.
