Lady Gaga Joins ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 After Viral Jenna Ortega ‘Bloody Mary’ Dance

Two years after Lady Gaga‘s “Bloody Mary” was resurrected by a runaway TikTok trend surrounding Netflix’s Wednesday, Mother Monster has reportedly joined the Jenna Ortega-led cast.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gaga will appear in the second season of the hit Addams Family-inspired show slated for 2025. Details regarding her role are still unknown, but production is currently under way in Ireland.

Billboard has reached out to reps for Gaga and Netflix for comment.

Though the cameo will mark the “Rain on Me” singer’s first official step into the Wednesday universe, she’s unofficially been in the show’s orbit since its first season premiered in 2022. When one scene of Ortega — who plays the titular role of Wednesday Addams — dancing to The Cramps’ 1981 single “Goo Goo Muck” went viral, fans began editing the sequence to Gaga’s Born This Way deep cut “Bloody Mary.” The edits sparked a broader trend on TikTok of users re-creating the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star’s choreography, which the Oscar winner herself tried out that December.

The “Bloody Mary” craze also propelled the song into the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, a full 11 years after it was first release. It bowed at No. 41 in April 2023.

Centered on Wednesday’s experience leaving her famous spooky family behind for boarding school, the first season of Wednesday featured Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez and Fred Armisen as Uncle Lester. Emma Myers played Ortega’s onscreen best friend Enid, while Gwendoline Christie portrayed Nevermore Academy principal Larissa Weems and Christina Ricci — who played Wednesday in 1991’s The Addams Family — starred as Marilyn Thornhill.

Around the time of the “Bloody Mary” resurgence, Ortega addressed the possibility of Gaga joining the cast. “I’m sure Netflix would love that,” Ortega said on the Golden Globes red carpet in January 2023. “If Lady Gaga were to be a part, [she and Wednesday] would have to be two monsters that understand each other.”

This year, Gaga starred alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux — for which she dropped a companion album, Harlequin, in September — and she previously acted in A Star Is Born, American Horror Story and House of Gucci.

The musician is also currently gearing up to release her seventh studio album in February. Its lead single, “Disease,” dropped in late October, debuting at No. 27 on the Hot 100.
