All the deets on Lady Gaga's Wednesday character: Here comes Rosaline Rotwood!
Who's joining Jenna Ortega in Wednesday's second stint on our screens? But of course, Lady Gaga!
Putting any and all speculation to rest, Netflix, at its Tudum fan event held in Los Angeles' Kia Forum on Saturday, May 31, officially brought on Lady Gaga as part of the Wednesday family. The pop star and actor of repute will be playing "the mysterious and enigmatic Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday", as stated on their website's official announcement.
The event was all in all a very special evening for fans as Gaga jumped out of a coffin to perform a mini set, getting into the groove of the eerie Addams-stamped vibe. She performed Mayhem tracks Zombieboy and Abracadabra, laced with a dance performance to the Cramps' Goo Goo Muck, a direct ode you can say, to Jenna's viral dance scene from the first season of Wednesday. Following this she jumped right back into her coffin, leaving audiences wanting more.
Gaga's role in the second season of Wednesday comes shortly after her work in Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) was widely panned — largely owing to the near-unanimous disappointment in how the Joaquin Phoenix-led franchise was taken forward. That being said, Gaga is sure an actor worth her salt, as her work in House of Gucci (2021) and prior to that, A Star is Born (2019) has demonstrated. As a matter of fact, the latter has also gotten her an Oscar win for Best Original Song coupled with a Best Actress nomination — not an easy feat by any means!
As far as Gaga's horror cred in acting goes, she starred in two seasons of FX's American Horror Story — the first was in season 5 titled Hotel in which she lead the season as Elizabeth 'The Countess' Johnson and the second was in season 6 titled Roanoke in which she played Scáthach.
Coming back to Wednesday, the first 6 minutes of season 2 was shared by Netflix on Saturday.
Though there's no sign of Gaga's Rosaline Rotwood in it, we're sure when the moment comes, everyone will be absolutely blown away.

‘Adolescence' overtakes ‘Stranger Things 4' to become Netflix's No. 2 most-watched English-language series ever
British limited series 'Adolescence' has become Netflix's second most-watched English-language show of all time, surpassing the popular 'Stranger Things' Season 4. As of June 1, 'Adolescence' has gathered 141.2 million views since its release on March 13, just 80 days ago. Netflix ranks its top shows based on views gathered in the first 91 days of release, and in that same timeframe, 'Stranger Things 4' had recorded 140.7 million views in 2022. Only Wednesday, the gothic teen mystery series, 'Wednesday', starring Jenna Ortega, holds a stronger position in Netflix's English-language rankings, with a remarkable 252.1 million views in its first 91 days. The success of 'Adolescence' marks a significant moment for British storytelling on the global stage, showing strong viewership across different countries. When expanding the list to include all languages, Korean sensation 'Squid Game' Season 1 remains Netflix's most-watched series ever, with 265.2 million views. Its upcoming second season has also performed strongly in early data, reaching 192.6 million views and placing just behind Wednesday and ahead of Adolescence. With still a few days left in its 91-day tracking window, 'Adolescence' may yet widen the gap between itself and Stranger Things, solidifying its spot in Netflix's streaming history. 'Adolescence' has gained praise for its emotional storytelling, sharp performances, and thought-provoking themes, resonating strongly with both teen and adult audiences. Created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham and directed by Philip Barantini, 'Adolescence' is a four-part mini-series that tells the powerful and emotional story of 13-year-old Jamie Miller (played by Owen Cooper), who is arrested after being accused of murdering a classmate. Each episode is filmed in a single continuous take, a creative choice that heightens the drama and makes the viewer feel as though they are right there with the characters, living each moment in real time. With its raw performances, bold direction, and unique storytelling approach, 'Adolescence' has received critical acclaim and strong word-of-mouth support, which have helped propel its global popularity.
