Lady Gaga will guest star in the hit Netflix TV series Wednesday.
The Poker Face singer, 39, will feature in season two, part two, of the hit show about Wednesday Addams of The Addams Family, to play Rosaline Rotwood, a teacher at Nevermore Academy.
The announcement was made at Netflix’sTudum 2025 event, followed by the release of a six-minute trailer for season two.
The series follows Ortega, who plays the morbid character Wednesday, as she navigates life at the mysterious private school which “nurtures outcasts, freaks and monsters”.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, is known for her hit albums The Fame and Born This Way, and for her film credits, including starring alongside Bradley Cooper in the romantic musical A Star Is Born, which took the 2019 Bafta for Original Music and 2018 Oscar for Original Song.
In 2021 the singer starred as Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott’s House Of Gucci, and most recently played Lee Quinzel alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie A Deux.
The season two cast also includes Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who will reprise her role as Morticia Addams, and Billie Piper, who joins the series to play Isadora Capri, the new head of music at Nevermore.
The series propelled Ortega into the spotlight, landing her an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination, and has been listed by the streaming giant as its most popular show, ahead of Stranger Things and Adolescence.
The American actress, 22, has also appeared in the Netflix series You and Disney Channel show Stuck In The Middle, and since Wednesday was first released has also been in the 2024 Beetlejuice sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and 2025 dark fantasy film Death Of A Unicorn.
Created by cartoonist Charles Addams, the macabre family have inspired a 1960s’ TV show, and 1990s’ films starring Anjelica Huston and Christina Ricci, who also appears in Wednesday as a teacher.
Wednesday season two, part one, is released on August 6, and part two is scheduled to air on September 3.
