Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams with Thing on her shoulder in Netflix's Wednesday

Little Monsters, prepare to put your paws up because Netflix has unveiled a creepy new image ahead of Wednesday Season 2, Part 2, offering a first look at Lady Gaga‘s mysterious character. The forthcoming batch of episodes will feature a cameo from the world-famous singer-songwriter, who has branched out further into acting over recent years. Her next role is that of the enigmatic educator Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore Academy teacher who will cross paths with Wednesday Addams at some point during the academic year.

Netflix shared the portrait of Gaga in-character as Rosaline on X/Twitter (as seen below), along with the caption: “A vision in venom. Here’s your first look at Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood.” The photograph shows Gaga dressed in a plain, ethereal white outfit, which is a far-cry from some of her more glitzy and outrageous concert costumes and award show looks. Her face is turned towards the camera, with her piercing eyes framed by her platinum blonde eyebrows, matching her flowing ashy locks draped behind Thing on her shoulder.

Gaga is just one of several new faces appearing in Wednesday Season 2. The show also added Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor as series regulars and Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo and Joonas Suotamo in guest roles as part of a bold expansion to further bolster the star-studded ensemble who featured in the first season and returned for the show’s sophomore run — the first part of which debuted in August.

When Is ‘Wednesday’ Returning to Screens?

Wednesday Season 2 launched in two parts, with four episodes premiering on Netflix on Aug. 6, 2025, and the second lot scheduled to snap back on Sept. 3, 2025. Anticipation is building for the final four episodes to drop, as the first half of the second season scored some top grades from reviewers. The show currently holds an 84% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is an improvement on the first season’s 73% approval rating. Fans of the supernatural series can rest assured, knowing that Netflix is not ready to put the final nail in the coffin yet.

The streaming giant handed out an early season renewal for Wednesday in July, meaning Ortega and the rest of the creepy and kooky (and all together ooky) misfits will be returning for a third season. Series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar receiving the greenlight to work on a new chapter in the Gothic halls of Nevermore — before the second season had even debuted — was a strong vote of confidence from Netflix, which sent out a powerful signal to critics and audiences that the show was back on top form and far from being over.

It is not yet known what will be on Wednesday‘s syllabus heading into the third season, or whether Ortega will grace the screen with any other pop stars in the wake of Mother Monster’s highly anticipated appearance, but the forthcoming episodes will no doubt set up some significant mysteries and an inevitable cliffhanger to keep viewers invested in what’s to come.
