Wednesday has solidified its status as one of Netflix’s standout series since its debut. Following the show’s tremendous success in late 2022, fans’s anticipation for Season 2 hit an all-time high. Official confirmation of the new season came swiftly in January 2023, but updates since then have been scarce, adding to the suspense.

Jenna Ortega, who portrays the iconic character of Wednesday Addams, has rapidly ascended to stardom and secured a producer role for the forthcoming season. While she has shared her excitement about the project, Ortega has been judicious about revealing specific plot details. However, she has indicated that her creative contributions will be more significant this time around, stirring intrigue among followers. Given the first season concluded with a suspenseful cliffhanger, the speculation regarding future storylines has been rampant.

In an unexpected twist, Entertainment Weekly has reported that the inimitable Lady Gaga will be joining the ensemble for the upcoming season. Specifics about her role remain unrevealed, but sources suggest she is currently filming scenes in Europe. With her recent success as an actress—highlighted by her Lead Actress nomination and the release of Joker: Folie à Deux—it is clear that Gaga’s passion for acting has grown alongside her music career. Recently, she snagged a Grammy nomination for her collaboration on “Die With A Smile”with Bruno Mars, all while working on new music, demonstrating her versatility and commitment to her craft.

Interestingly, Gaga’s involvement may parallel a viral fan trend where her song “Bloody Mary”was creatively paired with an engaging dance scene featuring Ortega. After going viral on TikTok, Gaga even engaged with the trend by recreating the dance, showcasing her affection for the series and its community. In a conversation with Variety, Ortega expressed enthusiasm about the idea of Gaga’s character intersecting with hers, suggesting they could be “two monsters that understand each other,”hinting at potential plot dynamics in Season 2.

Despite the standard Netflix delay of two years between seasons, Wednesday has maintained a strong and dedicated fan base, a testament to its engaging narrative and remarkable cast. Gaga’s unique background, particularly her experience with American Horror Story, is likely to enhance the quirky atmosphere that fans have come to love.

You can catch up on all the antics of Wednesday on Netflix, with Season 2 promising to deliver even more thrilling and enchanting moments.
