After months of speculation, the mystery is finally solved—Lady Gaga is officially joining the cast of Wednesday Season 2, and her role is nothing short of iconic.
Netflix confirmed today that the Grammy and Oscar-winning superstar will portray The New Headmistress of Nevermore Academy, following the departure of Principal Weems in Season 1. Described as “charismatic, enigmatic, and just a little sinister,” Gaga’s character is expected to clash with Wednesday Addams in ways fans won’t see coming.
Rumors had been swirling since Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary” trended alongside the viral Wednesday dance scene in 2022. Now, her casting feels like a full-circle moment.
Showrunners teased that Season 2 will be “bolder, darker, and more twisted than ever”—with Gaga bringing “a theatrical edge that’s uniquely hers.”
Filming is set to begin soon in Ireland, with a 2025 release date anticipated.
Stay tuned for more casting news and creepy sneak peeks from Nevermore Academy.
