Netflix's Wednesday season 2 adds Lady Gaga to cast
Lady Gaga has joined the cast of Wednesday on the show's second season, currently in production in Ireland.
The singer and actor will star opposite protagonist Jenna Ortega in Tim Burton's Netflix series inspired by the daughter of The Addams Family, created by cartoonist Charles Addams.
Details of Gaga's role are being kept under wraps for the time being, though the Joker: Folie à Deux star did share a connection with the hit show well before she came to be part of it.

Premiered in 2022, season one of Wednesday saw Ortega's protagonist showing off some moves at Nevermore's school dance to a remix of Gaga's song 'Bloody Mary'.
The scene went viral, prompting fans of the show to reuse the track on TikTok and other social media platforms.
But Gaga isn't the only exciting addition to the ensemble of chapter two. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that OG Addams Family star Christopher Lloyd, who played Uncle Fester in Barry Sonnenfeld's two movie adaptations, had signed on the project.
