One of the biggest moments of Wednesday season one was undoubtedly when our favorite Addams family member, played by Jenna Ortega, did her infamous dance. That clip did numbers and even caused a couple of songs to go viral. Outside of “Goo Goo Muck,” Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary” got some shine over a decade later thanks to a video mashup of it alongside Wednesday’s smooth moves. Now, in an interesting turn, Lady Gaga will star in Wednesday season two in some capacity.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the details about Lady Gaga’s Wednesday role are not known but she’s apparently filming in Europe. This is great news for Ortega, who previously expressed her desire to have Gaga Thee Mother Monster in this spooky series.
“I’m sure Netflix would love that,” Ortega told Variety in 2023. “I think Mrs. Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other in a certain way, so, if Lady Gaga were to be a part, I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other.”
Like Christina Ricci’s character, we can assume that Lady Gaga will play someone we’ve never met before versus an Addams family member. It would be fun for her to be a strange cousin from the Frump side of the family. She certainly feels like she could be related to Morticia.
We will have to wait and see if Netflix gives us an announcement about Gaga’s involvement in Wednesday season two.
