Jenna Ortega has clarified the rumors surrounding Lady Gaga’s role in the much-anticipated second season of Wednesday, revealing that the singer’s character is not what fans have been led to believe. Lady Gaga will appear in part two of season two, but contrary to previous reports, she will not portray the famed Nevermore teacher Rosaline Rotwood.
This revelation dispels widespread speculation and reshapes expectations for the series’ direction. Ortega, the star of the show, made the announcement during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, emphasizing the inaccuracy of initial claims.
Ortega Speaks About Working with Lady Gaga
In the interview, Jenna Ortega expressed admiration for Lady Gaga, describing her as an extraordinary collaborator. She praised the star’s nature and talent, offering insight into their working relationship behind the scenes.
“She’s not. Whatever you heard, it’s wrong.”

“One of the kindest, most grounded people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She’s such a powerhouse.”

Possible Characters Lady Gaga Might Play
With Lady Gaga’s role now a mystery, viewers and fans have been speculating about whom she might portray. One popular theory involves Ophelia Frump, a long-lost aunt of Wednesday Addams frequently mentioned in the first half of the season. If Lady Gaga takes on this role, it would mark the introduction of a significant family member to the storyline.
Another possibility connects Gaga to the unnamed inmate in Willow Hill, a role previously associated with Frances O’Connor. This character could plausibly be Morticia Addams’ sister, bringing new family dynamics into play, with support from comments made by Catherine Zeta-Jones, who portrays Morticia.
“I actually think she is probably related somehow genetically to the Addams Family, like the real Addams Family, that bounced off the comic pages.”

Potential Role as a Spirit Guide or New Villain
Aside from family ties, Lady Gaga might also appear as Wednesday’s new spirit guide, a vital presence given the protagonist’s ongoing challenges with her psychic abilities. With the loss of Goody Addams in the previous season, Wednesday is in need of guidance, and the narrative has subtly prepared fans for a new mentor or guardian figure.
Alternatively, Gaga could be cast as a villain, introducing fresh conflict in the second half of season two. Previous antagonists, including Heather Matarazzo’s character Judi and Christina Ricci’s Laurel Gates, have seen their story arcs conclude, leaving room for a new adversary to emerge.
What to Expect Next from Wednesday Season 2
The second part of Wednesday season 2 will be available for streaming starting September 3rd on Netflix. Fans can anticipate Lady Gaga’s surprising character reveal as part of the upcoming episodes, which promise to develop the show’s mix of mystery, supernatural elements, and family drama.
This unexpected casting twist could significantly influence the storyline, enriching the complex relationships within the Addams Family and introducing new dimensions to Wednesday’s journey. The final episodes aim to keep viewers engaged with fresh characters and evolving plots.
