Rotwood Revelation
Netflix finally spilled the beans at their Tudum event this weekend.
Lady Gaga will play Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher, in Wednesday season 2.
Fans have been buzzing with speculation since November when rumors first dropped about Mother Monster joining the spooky series.
Coffin Entrance
Gaga stole the show at Netflix’s livestream with a jaw-dropping entrance.
She emerged from a coffin labeled “Here Lies the Monster Queen” and launched into a killer medley.
Her performance mashed up her new track “Zombieboy” with the classic Addams Family theme song.
Bloody Connection
“Bloody Mary” holds a special place in the Wednesday universe already.
The 2011 Gaga track exploded on TikTok when fans paired it with Jenna Ortega’s viral dance scene.
This unexpected revival sent the decade-old song rocketing to #41 on Billboard charts, proving the show’s cultural impact.
Spooky Feast
Ortega joined Gaga for an unforgettable “Abracadabra” performance that gave everyone chills.
The Wednesday star sat at a long banquet table while Gaga, draped in red, danced dramatically across it.
The performance ended with Gaga returning to her coffin—and mysteriously taking Thing with her.
Tight-Lipped Tease
When asked about her character earlier this year, Gaga kept details under wraps.
“I want to keep it extra secret,” she told Entertainment Weekly with a mischievous smile.
She did mention loving her time with Ortega, hinting at great on-set chemistry between the two stars.
Horror Promises
Season 2 won’t be for the faint-hearted according to co-creator Miles Millar.
He teased moments that are “definitely horror movie-worthy” and more intense than anything in the first season.
Gaga’s addition seems perfectly aligned with this darker direction.
Dream Come True
This casting fulfills Ortega’s wish from back at the 2023 Golden Globes.
She specifically mentioned wanting Gaga to join the show, even imagining a storyline where their characters connect as “two monsters that understand each other.”
Sometimes dreams really do come creepy true!
Split Release Strategy
Fans will need patience to see Gaga in action. Her role appears in Part 2, dropping September 3rd, after Part 1 premieres August 6th.
This two-part release builds anticipation and gives viewers something wicked to look forward to as summer fades into fall.
