Netflix's Wednesday fans share huge Lady Gaga plot theory as star missing from first part of season 2
Netflix's Wednesday starring Jenna Ortega is back with a bang for season two with the first part of the eight-part season already in the number one spot on the streaming platform's top 10 list after just 24 hours. However, fans were disappointed to discover that Lady Gaga does not star in the first part of the show, which was released on Wednesday August 6.
The Poker Face hitmaker was listed as part of an exciting series of guest stars who were being added to the cast. Other names included Thandiwe Newton, Christopher Lloyd and Haley Joel Osment, all of whom appear in the first part of the season, with Gaga nowhere to be seen.
Details of the singer's appearance have been kept under top secret over at Netflix HQ with no official show stills yet of her character. The Star is Born actress is confirmed to be playing Rosaline Rotwood, who's described as a 'legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday'.
However, fans will have to patiently wait for her guest appearance in the second part of season two, which is set to drop in September.
Wednesday viewers are also keen to hear Gaga's new song Dead Dance, which will feature in the show next month as fans have speculated that it could be a major element in trying to replicate season one's viral dance moment.
Taking to X to share their theories, a Lady Gaga fan account suggested: "What if Enid dies and Wednesday search for how to make her alive and finds Gaga's character and she tells her she has to do a DEAD DANCE to make her not dead anymore.
'"Gaga and Jenna do it together, works for viral moments."
Another fan echoed this sentiment as they wrote: "Maybe another Bloody Mary like situation is going to happen with Dead Dance? I can imagine Gaga & Jenna's characters having a viral moment in the series while the song is being played."
While Wednesday fans have already polished off the first four episodes, many were left frustrated that the season had been split in half and that they would need to wait even longer for Gaga's arrival.
One questioned on X: "Is Gaga in the first half of Wednesday or not?"
Another wrote :"Watching Wednesday… where is GAGA."
A third fumed: "If Lady Gaga Is in Part 2, then I'll wait to resubscribe to Netflix in September".
A fourth dramatically stated: "Just watched Wednesday and Lady Gaga is not in the first part and my entire life ruined in that moment now I have to wait till September."
Gaga's feature in the show was confirmed back in May when she stepped out at a Netflix fan event in Los Angeles for a Wednesday-themed performance of Zombieboy from her album Mayhem.
Wednesday co-creator Alfred Gough revealed that Gaga's guest appearance came about as a result of the first season's viral dance (with moves inspired by Siouxsie Sioux and Bob Fosse, among others), which TikTokers set to her deep cut track Bloody Mary and was credited with the show becoming a smash hit, the Metro reports.
Gough told The Hollywood Reporter. she said: "She was interested, we were interested. 'But she's Lady Gaga, she's very busy. So we were able to work out a character for her to play, a time for her to come and do it.
"We all know she's an amazing actress, so we were just thrilled that she could come and play in the sandbox."

Meanwhile, Ortega described Lady Gaga as 'unbelievably sweet and giving'.
The 22-year-old also hinted that Gaga's screen appearance may just be a brief affair as she told E! News: "To be able to spend a day with her shooting was an absolute dream."
In the same interview, Catherine Zeta-Jones said: "I think just having her presence on the isle of Ireland just lifted everybody up. She's a queen. She's on the level to be in her presence for any amount of time is very memorable."
Wednesday season 2 is available to watch on Netflix now with the second part arriving on September 3.

Netflix fans convinced they've identified Tyler's new master after Wednesday Season 2 part 1 finale
Wednesday season two part one left subscribers on the edge of their seats as it saw the return of Tyler Galpin, aka the Hyde. WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Wednesday seasons one and two. Wednesday season two could see Tyler Galpin serving a new master, and it might be someone completely unexpected. Netflix viewers were left stunned when it was revealed that Tyler Galpin (portrayed by Hunter Doohan) was the Hyde terrorising Nevermore Academy in the first series three years ago. Fast-forward to the second series of Wednesday, and after being freed from Willow Hill by his former master Laurel Gates (played by Christina Ricci) and fatally stabbing her, Tyler is now on the loose. However, with Laurel no longer alive, it's uncertain who will step into her shoes as his next master, although some fans reckon they've figured it out. While Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) is preoccupied with investigating the murderous crows, her classmate Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday) is assisting her mum Gabrielle (Gracy Goldman) in avoiding prison. She had been residing with the cult Morning Song after marrying its leader Gideon, using her siren powers to con people out of their money, but the FBI is now on the group's tail. In an effort to shield her mum, Bianca stashed Gabrielle in a hotel, and even though she was later apprehended by the police, the former managed to convince them to release her and made a run for it. Bianca, Gabrielle and Ajax (Georgie Farmer) were then skulking around Nevermore as they sought a temporary hiding place for her. Wednesday season two is only halfway through and so far, Gabrielle's storyline remains disconnected from the main plot of the Netflix sensation. However, could Gabrielle be woven into a more significant role in the upcoming episodes as Tyler's new master? Not only does she possess siren abilities that enable her to influence others more effectively, but Gabrielle has also recently emerged from a fraudulent cult, meaning her moral compass isn't exactly straight. Alternatively, some viewers are speculating that Bianca herself might become Tyler's controller. She too possesses siren capabilities which she previously employed to send Tyler to sleep during the season one finale, demonstrating her past ability to manipulate him. Taking to Reddit, one user posted: "We know from the description of The Hyde that they get a master via hypnosis, or chemical induction. "Thornhill used chemicals to break him into being her slave, but the only person in the show to ever hypnotise him was Bianca when she put him to sleep in the opening of episode eight." Nevertheless, others believe that Wednesday herself could be next in line to command Tyler, though given his loathing for her, this won't be an easy task.

From Zendaya to JoJo Siwa & Olivia Rodrigo… why American girls simply can't resist a British boy
Find out which seven British men have proved irresistible to US celebs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORGET Labubu dolls or Dubai chocolate, there is one must-have item on every American starlet's wishlist this summer – a hot British boyfriend. Just ask the famous faces who have been descending on our shores and picking up a home-grown lad as a souvenir. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Heiress Nicola Peltz only has eyes for Brit nepo baby Brooklyn Beckham Credit: Instagram Whether it's the accent or not, Englishmen are certainly having a moment. Globally, Google searches for 'British men' went up 21 per cent over the past year. And according to dating site 65 per cent of its 108,000 members are American women. Meanwhile, US director Lena Dunham's new semi-autobiographical Netflix drama, Too Much, tells the story of a New York woman who moves to London following a break-up and falls for an English musician. READ MORE ON CELEBRITY DATING ROCK IN THE PARK Zendaya flashes £200k engagement ring on London dog walk with Tom Actress Lena married British composer Luis Felber in 2021 after also moving across the pond. Just a few of the stars following in her footsteps and bagging a Brit hunk are singer Olivia Rodrigo, actress Zendaya, and billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz, who earlier this month renewed her wedding vows with Brooklyn Beckham. More recently, Love Island UK's first transatlantic winner Toni Laites admitted that she sees 'no reason to be in America any more' after falling for East London lad Cach Mercer on the ITV show. Here are seven of the British men who have proved irresistible to US celebs. Tom Holland opens up about 'one day becoming a dad' as GMA shares sweet photo of star with girlfriend Zendaya Louis Partridge and Olivia Rodrigo 8 US singer Olivia Rodrigo has fallen for Brit actor Louis Partridge Credit: Getty TAKING to the stage at Glastonbury in June, Drivers License singer Olivia made her allegiances known. 'I love England so much,' the Californian told the 120,000-strong crowd. 'I love how nobody judges you for having a pint at noon. I love English sweets… and, as luck would have it, I love English boys.' Specifically, she loves one English boy – actor Louis Partridge. The pair, both 22, first sparked romance rumours in October 2023, when they were pictured with their arms around the other's waist in London. They then made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Venice Film Festival in August 2024, where Louis was promoting his TV series, Disclaimer. The pair have more recently been spotted together at Wimbledon. They have mostly remained coy about their relationship, with Londoner Louis telling British Vogue last year: 'Dating probably shouldn't be done in the public eye… I think she's got tons and tons of eyes on her case.' So Olivia's very public tribute to the Enola Holmes star on stage at the Worthy Farm festival is testament to their strong feelings. Tom Holland and Zendaya 8 Zendaya has moved from California to London to be with Brit Tom Holland Credit: Getty ONE of our most famous transatlantic couples, Tom and Zendaya got engaged earlier this year, with the British actor proposing with a £200,000 ring. Since meeting Tom, 29, on the set of Spider-Man in 2016, Zendaya, 28, has proved herself to be a true anglophile. She has moved from California to Richmond, South West London, where the pair reside in a £3million mansion close to where he grew up. Residents are said to leave them alone and they are frequently spotted walking around Richmond Park. Last year Zendaya, 28, confirmed she is Tom's biggest fan, paying tribute to her man while promoting her own movie, Dune 2. 'I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but personally works for me, is Mr Tom Holland,' she said, adding that 'he's great at just talking to people, getting to know people.' And last week Zendaya was spotted supporting Tom while he filmed scenes for their upcoming Spider-Man flick in Surrey. Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel 8 Londoner Matty Healy is engaged to Californian Gabbriette HE did not receive a glowing review from his American ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, who slammed him in songs The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived and I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can). But Londoner Matty's charms have fared better on Californian Gabbriette, 28. The 1975 frontman, 36, started dating the model in 2023 and they got engaged last year. But Gabbriette has revealed they are in no rush to wed. 'It might take a while because I'm bad at planning stuff,' she said last month. 'But the wedding bells are somewhere up there.' Meanwhile, the model has another fan in Matty's famous mum, Denise Welch. The Loose Women star recently appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live! and took the opportunity to pay tribute to her future daughter-in-law, while also taking a subtle swipe at Taylor. 'Matty has taken it all in completely good grace,' she said. 'He's very happy with his amazing fiancée Gabbriette – who is gorgeous – so we've moved on.' Leo Woodall and Meghann Fahy 8 Meghann and Leo have a 'great deal in common' despite their hometowns being worlds away Credit: Getty AS co-stars on season two of The White Lotus in 2022, Meghann and Leo had their fair share of on-screen romance with other people. But it was not long until they only had eyes for each other – and after the private pair were spotted kissing in New York in 2023, they finally hard launched their relationship on social media in early 2024. Though her hometown of Massachusetts is worlds away from Leo's West London roots, Meghann, 35, has said they have a great deal in common – not least their high-profile careers. She revealed earlier this year: 'I think that it's just really great to be deeply understood… There's so many weird things about this industry and what we do, so I think there's just something really lovely about being with somebody who really gets that.' As for Leo, 28, he has called their relationship his 'safe space,' which leaves little confusion as to why, like Bridget Jones in the series' latest film, Meghann is Mad About The Boy. Harry Charles and Eve Jobs 8 Eve Jobs looked across the Atlantic to find her happy-ever-after with Team GB champion Harry Charles Credit: Instagram SHE is the American heiress who could have her pick of any fella in her home country. But Eve Jobs – the daughter of late Apple founder Steve – looked across the Atlantic to find her happy-ever-after with Team GB champion Harry Charles, 26. As an accomplished equestrian – once ranked the world's fifth best rider under-25 – it is no wonder Eve, 27, has fallen for the Olympic-gold showjumper, from Hampshire. The pair reportedly met due to their shared love of horses and started dating in 2022. They got engaged two years later, around the same time the former Tatler It Girl and model was cheering Harry on at the 2024 Paris Games. The couple wed last month in a lavish £5million wedding in the Cotswolds, with a celebrity guest list including former US Vice President Kamala Harris. Last week Eve shared their first official wedding portrait, telling her social media followers it had been 'the most magical week'. George Rollinson and Ashley Roberts 8 Ashley has been loved up with Brit artist and tattooist George since 2023 Credit: GC Images RADIO host Ashley made the UK her home many years ago, but she didn't initially commit to the British-boy assignment – famously dating Italian stallion Giovanni Pernice in 2018. The former Pussycat Doll, 43, has since discovered the local fare and has been loved up with artist and tattooist George, 25, since 2023. The pair went public in early 2024 and have posted snaps from holidays to Dubai and Italy, as well as their visit across the pond to see Ashley's family in Phoenix, Arizona. Ashley said last year: 'American men are overwhelming, they are too much. I'm like, you need to calm down.' And she is not the only Pussycat Doll singer to fall for a British man. Hawaiian Nicole Scherzinger, 47, is engaged to 40-year-old Scottish former rugby player Thom Evans. And Missouri-born Kimberly Wyatt has been married to singer Max Rogers, both 43, since 2014. Nathan Louis-Fernand and Rachel Zegler 8 Snow White actress Rachel is dating Londoner Nathan SHE is currently taking the West End by storm as the leading lady in musical Evita. But off-stage, Rachel is making sweet, sweet music with co-star and back-up dancer Nathan. The 24-year-old has temporarily relocated to London for the show – and it seems the New Jersey-born star is enjoying the local delights. The Snow White actress was pictured kissing Londoner Nathan, 27, last month at Sabrina Carpenter's headline gig at the BST Hyde Park Music Festival on July 6. In the weeks since, Rachel has posted snaps of Louis on her Instagram, including a blurry photo of them embracing one another and another of him kissing her cheek. The pair were also seen walking Rachel's dog in London's Primrose Hill two weeks ago, with Louis wrapping his arm around the actress.
