Jenna Ortega on Lady Gaga: "She’s the Best"
Speaking to IndieWire at the SXSW red carpet, Ortega didn’t hold back her admiration for Gaga.
"It’s the best. She’s the best—definitely one of the most talented individuals I’ve ever worked with."
The young actress, known for her dark and quirky roles, revealed that working with Gaga and legendary filmmaker Tim Burton was nothing short of a dream come true.
"It was just a really, really special environment to be there with her and Tim [Burton], two people that I respect and have been inspired by so much."
Not only is Gaga a powerhouse performer, but Ortega also praised her as a kind and generous co-star.
"I love that you never know what to expect from her, but you can always expect kindness and generosity."
Lady Gaga’s Connection to Wednesday Season 1
Even before joining the cast, Lady Gaga already had a viral connection to the show.
When Wednesday first premiered, Ortega’s iconic gothic dance scene quickly went viral on TikTok, with fans setting it to Gaga’s 2011 hit “Bloody Mary”. The remix became so popular that Gaga herself even joined in on the trend, performing her own version of the dance.
Now, she’s officially stepping into the world of Nevermore Academy—but who will she play?
Who Will Lady Gaga Play in Wednesday Season 2?
While Netflix has kept Gaga’s role under wraps, speculation is already running wild.
Some fans believe she could be playing:
- A powerful new villain set to challenge Wednesday Addams
- A mysterious teacher at Nevermore Academy
- A supernatural character connected to the Addams family’s past
Though Gaga has remained tight-lipped, she did tease her involvement in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview:
"I don’t want to give away anything about being part of the show. I want to keep it extra secret—but I love Jenna, and I really had an amazing time!"
Her presence alone is bound to make a huge impact on the storyline.
Tim Burton’s Acting Debut in Wednesday Season 2?
In addition to Gaga, another unexpected surprise for Season 2 is Tim Burton himself.
While primarily known as a director, reports suggest that Burton might make a rare on-screen appearance in the new season. This wouldn’t be his first time stepping in front of the camera, but seeing him in his own macabre world of Wednesday would be an exciting twist for fans.
What’s Next for Wednesday Season 2?
The first season of Wednesday was a record-breaking success for Netflix, becoming one of the most-watched shows of all time. With the addition of Lady Gaga and possibly Tim Burton, the second season is shaping up to be even bigger.
Though an exact release date hasn’t been announced, Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 will premiere later this year.
A Star-Studded Season Ahead
Between Jenna Ortega’s killer performance, Lady Gaga’s mysterious role, and Tim Burton’s possible cameo, Wednesday Season 2 is already one of the most anticipated shows of the year.
Whether Gaga is playing a villain, a teacher, or something completely unexpected, one thing is certain—this season will be iconic.
