The series follows Ortega, who plays the morbid character Wednesday, as she navigates life at the mysterious private school which 'nurtures outcasts, freaks and monsters'.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, is known for her hit albums The Fame and Born This Way, and for her film credits, including starring alongside Bradley Cooper in the romantic musical A Star Is Born, which took the 2019 Bafta for Original Music and 2018 Oscar for Original Song.
In 2021 the singer starred as Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott's House Of Gucci, and most recently played Lee Quinzel alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie A Deux.
The season two cast also includes Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who will reprise her role as Morticia Addams, and Billie Piper, who joins the series to play Isadora Capri, the new head of music at Nevermore.
The series propelled Ortega into the spotlight, landing her an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination, and has been listed by the streaming giant as its most popular show, ahead of Stranger Things and Adolescence.
The American actress, 22, has also appeared in the Netflix series You and Disney Channel show Stuck In The Middle, and since Wednesday was first released has also been in the 2024 Beetlejuice sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and 2025 dark fantasy film Death Of A Unicorn.
Created by cartoonist Charles Addams, the macabre family have inspired a 1960s' TV show, and 1990s' films starring Anjelica Huston and Christina Ricci, who also appears in Wednesday as a teacher.
Wednesday season two, part one, is released on August 6, and part two is scheduled to air on September 3.

Bafta winner Abela, who stars in BBC Two drama Industry, will play romantic heroine Elizabeth Bennet, while Babygirl actor Dickinson will play her suitor Mr Darcy in the production, which will be released on September 9. Abela, 28, said of her role: "Elizabeth Bennet is one of the most fiercely intelligent and iconic characters in literature, and stepping into her shoes has been an incredible honour. "What I love about this adaptation is how it lets us hear her inner world in such a vivid, intimate way - it feels both timeless and fresh. "Recording this with such a phenomenal cast and team was a true joy, and I can't wait for listeners to experience it." The audiobook will also star Will Poulter as Mr Wickham, Jessie Buckley as Caroline Bingley and Bill Nighy as Mr Bennet.

I've always known him as this iconic character, but getting to really dive into the novel through this process gave me a whole new appreciation for him and the world. "Being part of such a talented cast made it even better. It's a real privilege to be part of something so timeless." The rest of the cast includes Glenn Close, who will be taking on the role of Lady Catherine De Bourgh, Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Mrs Bennet and David Gyasi as Mr Gardiner.

They join the mystery of who 'Patchwork,' performing on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, could really be. Glastonbury launched their official timetable of events earlier this week , with the over 3000 bands performing at Worthy Farm now learning who they may end up clashing with. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But there are still a number of gaps throughout the festival line-up that have continued to generate speculation who could end up performing a secret set at Worthy Farm this year. For example, there is a conspicuous TBA on the Pyramid Stage on the Friday of the festival at 4:55pm between Burning Spear and Alanis Morissette, while on Saturday, another TBA has been advertised between 7:30pm and 8:30pm, There is also the case of a mysterious act named 'Patchwork' are scheduled to appear on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday between 6:00pm - 7:00pm - evoking a similar feeling many had when The ChurnUps performed in 2023, only to reveal themselves as the Foo Fighters. Who could the TBA acts be at Glastonbury Festival 2025? Glastonbury Festival have released their full timetable for 2025's event - but fans are guessing on the identities of several TBAs and a Pyramid Stage act. |OLBG have provided us with the latest odds regarding who could be performing at Glastonbury 2025 as one of the several TBA acts performing this year, and with wild rumours suggesting Lady Gaga could be one of the artists - their odds seem at present a little more grounded. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Currently, Haim are leading the pack with a strong 75% chance (1/3 odds), making them a hot favourite to headline. Close behind are Mumford & Sons at 66.7% (1/2 odds), suggesting they're also a very strong contender. Other acts in the mix include Lewis Capaldi , who sits at a 50% chance (1/1 odds), while Robbie Williams is a less likely but still possible option at 25% (3/1 odds). Gorillaz round out the list as with a 12.5% chance (7/1 odds) they'll play, after Kings of Leon's odds were scrapped after the cancellation of shows owing to injury. However there is still hope that perhaps Pulp could be the mysterious 'Patchwork' act on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. There have been rumours circulating among fans on forums like eFestivals that Candida Doyle, Pulp's keyboardist , recently posted something on social media about her "patchwork" being all she could think about. Then there is some speculation that Lorde could be at this year's festival; with a new album on the horizon and celebrated surprise appearances alongside Charli XCX at Coachella this year , could the Kiwi make the trip to Worthy Farm again this year?
