The series premiered in 2022, and followed Ortega as the most miserable day of the week as she attempted to master her psychic abilities and thwart a mysterious killer at Nevermore Academy.
Wednesday also went ultra-viral due to a dance scene set to the soundtrack of a sped-up “Bloody Mary” by Lady Gaga – and now, according to Deadline, season two will introduce mother monster herself.
Details on Gaga’s role in Wednesday are unclear, and it is not known how large a part her character will have in season two.
It is Gaga’s first acting role following her portrayal of DC supervillain Harley Quinn in the critically panned Joker: Folie a Deux, alongside Joaquin Phoenix.
Her involvement with Wednesday was first teased by Scream queen Ortega back in 2023.
“I’m sure Netflix would love that,” Ortega told Variety about a potential Gaga appearance in the upcoming season.
As for what she would play, Ortega said: “If Lady Gaga were to be a part of it, they’d have to be two monsters who understand each other.”
Production for the sophomore season began in late April this year, in Ireland; it will include Catherine Zeta-Jones as Addams matriarch Morticia, Luiz Guzmán as Wednesday’s dad Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as .Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago.
According to Deadline, additions to the cast include Billie Piper as Capri, Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.
