Netflix has confirmed Lady Gaga will appear in season two of Wednesday, the hit series starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams. Gaga will be “playing the mysterious and enigmatic Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday,” according to a company release on Netflix.com.
The streaming service first announced the news of Gaga as guest star at its Tudum fan event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday (May 31), The Hollywood Reporter says.
Gaga marked the occasion by making an appearance herself, taking the stage for a Wednesday-themed set that had her “emerging from a coffin” while “backed by a cadre of Addams Family-esque dancers,” reports THR. The coffin lid was inscribed with “HERE LIES THE MONSTER QUEEN.”

The pop star performed Mayhem tracks “Zombieboy” and “Abracadabra” before returning to her coffin. In the middle of her mini set was a dance performance to the Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck,” inspired by the viral dance scene from Wednesday‘s first season.
Wednesday is the latest acting credit for the singer, who led the films Joker: Folie à Deux, A Star Is Born and House of Gucci, and was in two seasons of FX’s American Horror Story. Gaga won an Oscar for best original song and was nominated for best actress for A Star Is Born in 2019.
Though Gaga’s Rosaline Rotwood isn’t seen, a six-minute preview for season two of Wednesday arrived Saturday night, giving fans of the show a glimpse at how Wednesday Addams (Ortega) spent her summer: locked in a serial killer’s (Haley Joel Osment) basement.
