Though Girl Gaga wasn’t in Wednesday Season 1, she grew to become inextricably tied to the present when TikTok customers paired Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega’s) now-iconic dance scene with a sped-up model of Gaga’s “Bloody Mary.” (Within the present, the dance was set to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck.”)
‘Wednesday’ Season 2 ending, defined: What’s subsequent for Wednesday Addams?
Gaga shortly embraced the connection, getting in on the viral dance pattern herself. She even posted concerning the pattern on X, writing, “Slay Wednesday! You are welcome at Haus of Gaga anytime (and produce Factor with you, we love paws round right here)”
This Tweet is at the moment unavailable. It could be loading or has been eliminated.
However as an alternative of Wednesday coming to Gaga, it was Gaga who got here to Wednesday. In Nov. of 2024, Leisure Weekly broke the information that Gaga would star in Wednesday Season 2. The casting was a match made in heaven, not solely due to the “Bloody Mary” connection, but in addition as a result of Girl Gaga, Mom Monster herself, is principally the patron saint of outcasts like these we meet in Wednesday. She would match proper in at Nevermore!
For the reason that casting announcement, Gaga has been a key a part of the Wednesday media machine. She carried out an eight-minute medley at Netflix’s TUDUM occasion in June of 2025, she turned appears on the Wednesday premiere crimson carpet, and she or he even launched a brand new single, “The Useless Dance,” tied to the discharge of Wednesday Season 2, Half 2.

It is a disgrace, then, that Gaga is barely in Wednesday. She exhibits up in Season 2, episode 6 as Rosaline Rotwood, a long-dead psychic Raven and Nevermore instructor who taught Wednesday’s Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley). Wednesday visits her grave as a way to briefly restore her psychic means.
Mashable High Tales
In a imaginative and prescient, Rosaline — floating ethereally in an all-white robe — checks Wednesday’s resolve. She’ll give her her energy again for so long as Wednesday manages to carry her hand over a lit candle. If she removes her hand too early, she’ll should pay a horrible worth. (In the event you’ve ever puzzled how Girl Gaga would execute Dune‘s gom jabbar take a look at, now you already know.)
After all, Wednesday’s plan goes awry when Enid (Emma Myers) snaps her out of her imaginative and prescient. That prompts the horrible worth: a physique swap between the 2 polar opposites. From then on out, Rosaline vanishes from the episode, save for a quick second when she principally FaceTimes Wednesday (in Enid’s physique) by a statue.
How lengthy is Girl Gaga in Wednesday?
So how lengthy is Gaga’s much-hyped Wednesday look? Utilizing very scientific strategies (an iPhone timer) and a strict rubric (I am solely counting scenes, not the picture of her portrait or the runtime of “The Useless Dance”), I found that Gaga was in Wednesday for a whopping one minute and 42 seconds. That is half an “Abracadbra”!
Gaga’s brief runtime feels borderline legal given her appearing prowess (she’s an Oscar nominated actress!) and the hype within the lead-up to the looks. However earlier than we lock Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar up within the “Phone” jail for the dearth of Gaga, it is vital to do not forget that Gaga was solely on Wednesday‘s set for sooner or later, that means we have been by no means going to get something greater than a glorified cameo. Nonetheless, a woman can dream.
Plus, in the case of cameos, Gaga floating round onscreen, channeling Wednesday‘s model of a Bene Gesserit, after which kicking off Freaky Friday-style physique swap chaos is not a nasty approach to go.
Wednesday Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
