‘Wednesday' Season 2 Trailer Teases Familiar Faces & a Hint at Lady Gaga's Character
Part one of Wednesday season two left the show's morose heroine on a massive cliffhanger — and the new trailer for the season's second part offers only more questions about what is to come for the Addams daughter. In a trailer that dropped on Thursday (Aug. 14) for the forthcoming second half of the season, Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams wakes up in a hospital after being attacked by former classmate Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), only to see her former, now-deceased principal Larissa Weems (played by Gwendoline Christie) appearing as her new 'spirit guide.' More from Billboard Lady Gaga's 'Wednesday' Role Will Also Include a Spooky New Song for Season 2 Lady Gaga's 'Wednesday' Character Confirmed, First Six Minutes of Season Two Released Bob the Drag Queen Counts How Many Times Lady Gaga Asks Fans at Mayhem Ball to Put Their Paws Up The remainder of the trailer shows Wednesday moving through Nevermore Academy and the local town of Jericho, hunting down Tyler and attempting to save both her family and friends from impending doom. As the plot thickens and the teenager encounters more and more of her family's 'dark chapter,' she is offered an eerily warning by a familiar-sounding voice: 'Beware — there will be a price to pay.' Fans immediately clocked the eerie voice as none other than Lady Gaga, who was announced as a cast member on season two back in November. Mother Monster memorably announced her arrival into the Wednesday universe at Netflix's Tudum event in May, where she performed a rousing medley of her tracks 'Zombieboy,' 'Bloody Mary' and 'Abracadabra,' where she was joined onstage by Ortega. This won't be the first time Gaga's name is associated with the hit show. After the runaway success of season one, fans began making social media edits of Ortega's titular character dancing to a sped-up version of Gaga's Born This Way B-side 'Bloody Mary.' The viral trend gave the song its debut on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 18 weeks, peaking at No. 41 in April 2023. While the show didn't offer further details regarding Gaga's enigmatic character on the hit series, Billboard previously learned that the second part of season two will also coincide with a new song coming from Mother Monster. Entitled 'Dead Dance,' the track is expected to drop in September alongside the final four episodes of the season. Wednesday season two part two will arrive Sept. 3 on Netflix.

Pete Davidson says his ‘BDE' reputation, sexualization in media took an emotional toll
It turns out the amount of objectifying Pete Davidson received from the tabloids took a toll on his 'BDE.' The 'Saturday Night Live' alumnus told 'The Breakfast Club' on Wednesday that he was 'embarrassed' by the way his personal life crowded out his work. 'I brought a lot of pop culture into [SNL], like, I made it sort of like tabloid-y, like trendy thing unintentionally. … No one talked about any work I was doing,' the 31-year-old father-to-be said. 'They were just like, 'Oh, that's the f— stick.' The 'Bupkis' star began his 'SNL' career in 2014, when he was only 20, then spent eight seasons on the late-night sketch comedy show. After leaving in 2022, he came back a year later to host the show. His dating life dominated the headlines during his time on 'SNL.' Davidson dated singer Ariana Grande, actor Kate Beckinsale, model Kaia Gerber, actor Madelyn Cline and reality TV star Kim Kardashian. The Grande and Kardashian periods attracted the most attention of course, with the singer hinting at Davidson's alleged 'BDE' and the reality mogul saying later that she was up for some of that amid her divorce from Ye — then known as Kanye West. The rapper, by the way, was not pleased with his ex's rebound entanglement. (BDE is short for 'big d— energy.') 'I don't want to victimize myself in any way because I'm cool, but the sexualization of me, if that was a girl, you know, [there would] be a march for it,' Davidson said. He said the attention his track record brought affected his dating life and made him 'sad.' In July, the 'King of Staten Island' star revealed that his current girlfriend, British model and actor Elsie Hewitt, is expecting their first child. She posted a series of pictures of the two of them on social media, including a shot of an ultrasound and video of her getting the scan done. Her caption: 'welp now everyone knows we had sex.'
