There is no official announcement yet, Netflix still does not confirm, nor does the singer, but for Variety there is no doubt: Lady Gaga will appear, in some way, in Tim Burton’s cult series Wednesday, in a cameo. The first indiscretion was from Entertainment Weekly. For Stefani Germanotta, yet another step towards acting after “Joker: Folie à Deux” with Joaquin Phoenix, after the Oscar nomination with “A Star is Born” with Bradley Cooper, not to mention “House of Gucci” and “American Horror Story”.
The protagonist Jenna Ortega stated in the past, to Variety, that the production would have been happy to have Lady Gaga in the cast after one of her songs had contributed to the dance which later went viral in episode 4 of the first season. Many people had danced to the tune of “Bloody Mary”, from TikTok onwards.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo will return to the cast with Ortega. The first season debuted in November 2022 with immediate success, record ratings and 4 Emmys won with 12 nominations. The release of season 2 has been postponed due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
