Lady Gaga Confirmed to Guest Star in Netflix's 'Wednesday' Season 2

Published: June 1, 2025

Get ready for a thrilling second season of Netflix's hit series "Wednesday" as the streaming giant drops the first six minutes of the season 2 and confirms Lady Gaga's guest starring role.

First Six Minutes of Season 2 Released

The first six minutes of the Jenna Ortega-led series were shown at Netflix's Tudum 2025 live event on Saturday, May 31. The footage begins with Wednesday tied up in a serial killer's basement, surrounded by life-size dolls.

A flashback from six weeks earlier then takes place, showing Wednesday spending her summer vacation mastering her psychic ability. With her powers under control, she sets out to find the Kansas City Scalper — which we discover was her favorite serial killer as a child.

The next scene shows Wednesday hilariously unloading her weapons — and Thing — while going through airport security, a scene from the teaser trailer Netflix released back in April.

Finally, Wednesday comes face to face with the Kansas City Scalper, who we now see is played by Haley Joel Osment, and he presents her with a doll he made that looks like her.

Lady Gaga Joins Season 2 as a Guest Star

Back on stage at Tudum, the Wednesday cast announced that Lady Gaga will be joining season 2 in a guest starring role. The news marked the first time Netflix officially confirmed her casting and likely comes as a thrill to fans after Gaga was associated with the show thanks to her song "Bloody Mary" in a scene from season 1.

Gaga closed out the show with a show-stopping performance, including "Bloody Mary" as well as her hit song "Abracadabra."

Season 2 Details

The first season of Wednesday, co-created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, dropped in November 202, introducing the world to Tim Burton's take on the beloved Addams Family character. The series and Ortega were nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes.

Returning cast members for season 2 include Wednesday's family members: her mom, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones); her dad, Gomez (Luis Guzmán); and her brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez). Also back are Thing (Victor Dorobantu) and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen).

Joanna Lumley joins this season as Grandmama Hester Frump while Joonas Suotamo comes aboard as Lurch, replacing George Burcea from season 1.

This season also welcomes Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort, the head of Nevermore; Billie Piper as Isadora Capri, head of music at Nevermore; Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff, Nevermore's longest-serving teacher; Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Rachael Fairburn, chief psychiatrist at Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility; and Heather Matarazzo as Judi, Dr. Fairburn's executive assistant.
