Wednesday Season 2 First Look After 9-Month Wait: See the Buzzed-About Star!

After months of speculation, Netflix has finally released the first official image of Lady Gaga in “Wednesday” Season 2, Part 2, which will be available starting tomorrow morning. The global superstar is featured in a stark, almost ghostly appearance, alongside none other than Thing, the second most iconic character from the Addams Family.

“A vision in venom. Here’s your first look at Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood.“

This reveal ends the suspense that has been building since her casting was announced in November 2024. Fans can now see what the singer will look like in Tim Burton’s quirky, dark universe.

A Collaboration Born from a Viral Phenomenon

The story behind this extraordinary casting began with an unexpected TikTok phenomenon. It all started when Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega) viral dance to Gaga’s 2011 hit “Bloody Mary” took the internet by storm.

“Lady Gaga became a huge fan of the first season when her song ‘Bloody Mary’ became the unofficial soundtrack to Wednesday’s viral dance,” explain co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar in an interview with Tudum. This prompted them to reach out to the star, who enthusiastically agreed to join the cast.

General Excitement Ramps Up

The excitement within the creative team is palpable. Jenna Ortega is full of praise: “If you love Wednesday, if you love Lady Gaga, you should be very excited to see her in Part 2 – it really works. She’s incredible.” Director and executive producer Tim Burton shares this enthusiasm: “I’ve been a fan of her work for a long time. She makes great music and she’s a fantastic actress.“

This promising collaboration comes at the perfect time: following the phenomenal success of the first season (252 million views in 91 days), fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next!
