Lady Gaga Officially Confirmed to Guest Star in 'Wednesday' as Netflix Drops First 6 Minutes of Season 2
Netflix unveiled the first six minutes of Wednesday's highly anticipated second season at its Tudum 2025 live event on Saturday, May 31
It was also announced at the event that Lady Gaga will join season 2 as a guest star
Season 1 of the hit series premiered in November 2022 starring Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Victor Dorobantu, Fred Armisen and moreNetflix is giving Wednesday fans a few reasons to scream — for joy, that is.
The first six minutes of the show's highly anticipated second season were shown at the streamer's Tudum 2025 live event on Saturday, May 31. After a nearly three-year wait, fans finally got to see what kind of spooky shenanigans Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) gets up to this season.
The footage begins with Wednesday tied up in a serial killer's basement — "who said nightmares don't come true?" — surrounded by life-size dolls. "He's under the delusion that I'm his next victim," she says. "I'll let him cherish that notion while I explain my predicament."
A flashback from six weeks earlier then takes place, showing Wednesday spending her summer vacation doing what any normal teen would be doing: mastering her psychic ability. With her powers under control, she sets out to find the Kansas City Scalper — which we discover was her favorite serial killer as a child.
The next scene shows Wednesday hilariously unloading her weapons — and Thing — while going through airport security, a scene from the teaser trailer Netflix released back in April.
Finally, Wednesday comes face to face with the Kansas City Scalper, who we now see is played by Haley Joel Osment, and he presents her with a doll he made that looks like her.
"Let me show you some of my own handiwork," she tells the serial killer as the clip ends.
Back on stage at Tudum, the Wednesday cast announced that Lady Gaga will be joining season 2 in a guest starring role. The news marked the first time Netflix officially confirmed her casting and likely comes as a thrill to fans after Gaga was associated with the show thanks to her song "Bloody Mary" in a scene from season 1.
Additional details about who the "Born This Way" singer will be playing in season 2 were not announced.
Gaga closed out the show with a show-stopping performance, including "Bloody Mary" as well as her hit song "Abracadabra."
The first season of Wednesday, co-created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, dropped in November 2022, introducing the world to Tim Burton's take on the beloved Addams Family character. The series and Ortega were nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes.
Returning cast members for season 2 include Wednesday's family members: her mom, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones); her dad, Gomez (Luis Guzmán); and her brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez). Also back are Thing (Victor Dorobantu) and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen).
Joanna Lumley joins this season as Grandmama Hester Frump while Joonas Suotamo comes aboard as Lurch, replacing George Burcea from season 1.
This season also welcomes Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort, the head of Nevermore; Billie Piper as Isadora Capri, head of music at Nevermore; Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff, Nevermore's longest-serving teacher; Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Rachael Fairburn, chief psychiatrist at Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility; and Heather Matarazzo as Judi, Dr. Fairburn's executive assistant.
Netflix released a teaser trailer for Wednesday season 2 in April, featuring Ortega's titular character hilariously unloading her weapons when going through airport security on her way back to school.
Elsewhere in the previously released teaser, Wednesday describes returning to Nevermore as "returning to the scene of the crime," joking, "I already know where the bodies are buried."

The following scenes send the creep factor through the roof before Zeta-Jones' Morticia warns her daughter, "Every family has dark secrets, Wednesday. And secrets can have deadly consequences."
This doesn't phase Wednesday, though, who replies, "You don't need to worry about me, Mother. I do my best work in the dark."
Wednesday season 2 returns with Part 1 on Aug. 6 and Part 2 on Sept. 3 — all streaming on Netflix.

Trump, DOJ threaten Calif. with legal action, fines after trans athlete's win
Days after a 16-year-old transgender athlete placed first in two events at the California state track-and-field championship, the Trump administration is threatening legal action and 'large scale' fines over the state's policy allowing trans athletes to compete in high school sports. In a letter addressed to the state's public school districts, Harmeet Dhillon, who heads the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, said on Monday that the California Interscholastic Federation violates the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause with its bylaw stating that all students 'should have the opportunity to participate in CIF activities in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on a student's records.' The letter directed school districts to certify in writing by June 9 that they wouldn't follow the bylaw.

PlayStation State of Play June 2025: How to watch and what to expect
E3 may be long dead and buried, but its spirit still lives on every June. This week is a loaded one for video game showcases, as we'll get Summer Game Fest, the Xbox Games Showcase, and more streaming over the next few days. Now you can add one more must-watch showcase to your radar: PlayStation's State of Play. Tomorrow, June 4, Sony will give fans a major update on what's coming to PS5 with a sizable stream. That's great news, because the back half of Sony's year is a bit of a mystery right now beyond two or three major games. What else in store for PS5 owners this year? Here's all the information you need so you can catch the show. And if you can't watch it live, stay tuned to Digital Trends, as we'll keep you updated on all the big news. Recommended Videos When is the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play? The PlayStation State of Play will air on Wednesday, June 4, just one day ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2's launch. It will air at 2 p.m. PT and will run for over 40 minutes. That positions it as a substantial broadcast, rather than a short show meant to highlight a few key games. How to watch the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play If you want to catch the show live, you'll be able to watch it on either PlayStation's YouTube or Twitch channel. And don't worry if you miss it: a VOD should be available right after it wraps up. We've embedded the YouTube video above, so you can watch it here if you'd like. What to expect from the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play Sony is being vague about what exactly it's showing this time. All it says in its blog post announcing the stream is that it will show off PS5 games from creators around the world. PlayStation VR2 isn't mentioned, so don't expect to see any new VR games. So, what's likely to show up? With Death Stranding 2: On the Beach slated to launch later this month, we wouldn't be surprised to see one more trailer hyping it up. Marathon is likely to appear as well considering that Sony owns Bungie, though there are rumors swirling that its upcoming release could be delayed. And of course, Ghost of Yotei should get a spotlight here considering that it's the PS5's big fall exclusive. Other than that, the field is wide open. This has historically been a very exciting show for Sony, as it usually nabs big reveals from third-party partners like Square Enix and Capcom. There's a good chance we see something like Resident Evil 9 here, giving us a big shocker before Summer Game Fest. It's possible that Sony has its own surprises in store too, as we know that Marvel's Wolverine is next in the pipeline. We're overdue for a update on that one, so it could pop up as a grand reveal. Whatever appears, it should be an exciting way to kick off a very busy week in gaming.

Vincenzo Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 3, 2025, 19:51 IST 'Vincenzo,' the South Korean drama that captivated audiences with its unique blend of dark comedy, action, and romance, left fans eagerly awaiting a second season after its explosive finale in May 2021. Starring Song Joong-ki as the sharp-witted Korean-Italian mafia lawyer Vincenzo Cassano, the series combined thrilling plot twists, clever mind games, and heartfelt moments. As speculation grows, here's everything we know so far about Vincenzo Season 2. Vincenzo Season 2 Release Date Speculation As of June 3, 2025, neither Netflix nor tvN, the original South Korean network, has officially confirmed Vincenzo Season 2. The first season, which aired from February 20, 2021, to May 2, 2021, was a massive hit, ranking as the sixth highest-rated drama in tvN history and gaining global popularity on Netflix. Despite this, no renewal announcement has been made. If renewed in 2025, production—including scriptwriting, casting, and filming—could take 12–18 months, given the high-budget nature of the show (Season 1 reportedly cost $18 million). This points to a potential release in late 2026 or early 2027 on tvN and Netflix, though no official date exists. Vincenzo Season 2 Expected Cast While no official cast list exists for a second season, fans expect key players to return based on Season 1's survivors and the story's unresolved threads. Here's a speculative lineup: Song Joong-ki as Vincenzo Cassano / Park Joo-hyung : The titular Korean-Italian mafia consigliere and lawyer, central to the story, would likely return to pursue his gold or new battles. Jeon Yeo-been as Hong Cha-young : The fierce, eccentric lawyer and Vincenzo's love interest, left with 1.5 tons of gold in Season 1, is a fan-favorite for a comeback. Yoon Byung-hee as Nam Joo-sung : The loyal legal assistant at Jipuragi Law Firm, adding humor and support, is expected to return. Choi Young-joon as Cho Young-woon : A Geumga Plaza tenant and ally, likely to reappear. Choi Deok-moon as Tak Hong-shik, Kim Hyung-mook as Toto, and Lee Hang-na as Kwak Hee-soo: The quirky Geumga Plaza tenants, integral to the show's charm, are anticipated to return. Vincenzo Season 2 Potential Plot Season 1 ended with Vincenzo defeating Babel Group's leader, Jang Jun-woo (Ok Taec-yeon), and fleeing to Malta, leaving 1.5 tons of gold with Hong Cha-young. His final monologue hinted at ongoing evil in the world, setting the stage for new adventures. Here are potential plot directions: The Quest for Gold: Vincenzo might return to Korea to reclaim the gold from Hong Cha-young, sparking new conflicts or a reunion. Their chemistry could evolve into a deeper romance, perhaps exploring marriage or family. New Enemies, New Battles: A criminal cartel or corrupt system could emerge, challenging Vincenzo's skills as a lawyer and mafioso. His past in Italy might resurface, pulling him back to confront old rivals. Geumga Plaza's Role: The quirky tenants could rally again, blending comedy and loyalty as they aid Vincenzo against bigger threats. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
