Let's get this party started! Gaga's coming to the streaming scene again, y'all! Lady Gaga, age 39 and still turning heads, will make her debut in the second season of the Netflix smash hit, "Wednesday". The initial six minutes of the new season dropped over the weekend, bringing in millions of viewers in just 24 hours. This train wreck of intrigue and quirk is brought to us by none other than filmmaking maestro Tim Burton ("Beetlejuice", "Ed Wood", "Mars Attacks!").
Gaga's character, Rosaline Rotwood, is shrouded in mystery. She's a legendary figure at Nevermore Academy, and her enigmatic presence will cross paths with Wednesday Addams in the upcoming season. During a recent fan event, Tudum (yeah, like the cool sound before Netflix hits play), Netflix officially announced Gaga's role after her jaw-dropping appearance at the Los Angeles show.
The show focuses on none other than Jenna Ortega (22), who plays Wednesday Addams. In the series, Wednesday heads off to Nevermore Academy and discovers her supernatural abilities.
Gaga's stardom includes a well-deserved Oscar nomination for Best Actress in the 2019 musical drama "A Star is Born". She also took home the Oscar for "Shallow" as Best Original Song. You might have also caught her in the family drama "House of Gucci".
Gaga's film career had a tough time recovery from the lackluster performance of "Joker: Folie à Deux", the sequel to the award-winning "Joker", alongside Joaquin Phoenix. So let's see if this appearance on "Wednesday" brings back the Lady Gaga magic!
