While Netflix is keeping the details of the second season of Wednesday a closely guarded secret, fans are still wondering: who will Lady Gaga play? Rumors have been circulating for a long time, and the most popular option was that the singer would try on the role of the new headmistress of Nevermore Academy, replacing the late Weeden, who died in the finale of the first season. But, as it turned out, everything was completely different.
The information leaked from Jenna Ortega herself, the actress who plays the main role. In a recent interview, she admitted that Lady Gaga did indeed show up on the set. However, she was there for only one day, which means that we are talking about an episode at most.
“She was incredibly kind and incredibly talented. I am so glad that we worked together, even if it was for a short time,” Jenna shared.
And this caused a storm of speculation: who is this mysterious heroine for whom Gaga dropped by the set?
Fans are speculating about everything from a mysterious magic teacher to the mother of one of the new characters. Some are sure that her appearance will be something like a Tim Burton-style cameo: memorable, effective, but fleeting. There is even a version that she will play one of the witches associated with the history of the academy.
Lady Gaga was first spotted with the film crew back in November 2024, and rumors have only grown since then. But there is still no official confirmation of her role from Netflix. However, given the enthusiasm with which fans greeted the very fact of her participation, even a tiny fragment could become one of the most talked about moments of the season.
Recall that Tim Burton is once again directing the sequel, and James Marshall and Ganja Monteiro are assisting him in the work. Recall that part 1 of the second season will be released on Netflix on August 6, and part 2 will be shown from September 3, 2025.
