I didn’t finish Wednesday on Netflix, but Lady Gaga’s cameo in season 2 is all I need to give the show another chance
As it stands, there’s no one in the entertainment world who works as hard as Lady Gaga, and sources have reported that the singer will have a cameo in Netflix’s Wednesday season 2, which will arrive on the top streaming service sometime in 2025.
First reported by Entertainment weeklyinformation about Gaga’s upcoming role in one of the best Netflix series is being kept under wraps, so we don’t know what character she will step into or how important they will be to the story of season 2. But according to reports, Gaga is currently filming for Wednesday season 2 in Europe, most likely in Ireland, where principal photography for the show began in May.
Not only is there little insight into the nature of Gaga’s upcoming role, but also its premise Wednesday Season 2 is just as quiet, as Netflix previously hinted in the announcement video (see below) that the next episode will be “bigger and more twisted.” At Netflix Tudum 2023, which took place last June, Jenna Ortega (who plays the titular role) discussed some of the top fan theories about the direction the show’s second season could take, including an interesting take on Crackstone’s ring.
Lady Gaga’s choice for a role in Wednesday season 2 comes as no surprise after her 2011 issue Bloody Mary from her album Born this way went viral among fans online Wednesday. Referring to That iconic dance scene from the show, users created Ortega’s dance moves in short videos with a sped-up version of Gaga’s song on top.
The announcement of Gaga’s addition to the cast feels like a full-circle moment. At the time of the 2023 Golden Globes, where the show was nominated for two awards, Ortega revealed that she wanted Gaga to be part of the show. In an interview with VarietyOrtega stated: “I’m sure Netflix would love that,” when asked about the possibility of Gaga getting a role.

Joker: Folie à Deux starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix. She dropped the first single on October 25 this year Disease from her upcoming seventh studio album, one of pop music’s most anticipated comebacks for next year.
