WEDNESDAY Shows The First 6 Minutes of Season 2 – And Celebrates Major Casting With Lady Gaga Performance
Lady Gaga’s Role In Wednesday Isn’t The Only Intriguing Cast Addition
The highly acclaimed Netflix series “Wednesday” starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams closed the evening with an impressive showing and a standout performance. Netflix gave fans a sneak peek of season 2’s first six minutes, set to premiere on August 6, 2025 during their TUDUM event.
On Wednesday, we observed Ortega in detective fashion, much like Sherlock Holmes with his trench coat, as she chased a ruthless serial killer. Surprisingly, the villain turned out to be none other than Haley Joel Osment, who portrayed his character in a truly chilling manner reminiscent of The Sixth Sense.
It has been confirmed that Lady Gaga will appear in the upcoming season of ‘Wednesday’, here’s why: The pop sensation transformed the TUDUM finale into an amazing Addams Family-themed concert. She performed a mix of her popular songs, accompanied by dancers dressed as Wednesday and other characters from the series. Interestingly, when Jenna Ortega was on stage, she playfully declined to perform her famous dance routine.
After the conclusion of the broadcast, Netflix has additionally provided an analysis of the Easter eggs found within the sneak peek for ‘Wednesday’, which includes input from creators and showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough.
