Lady Gaga All Set To Join Netflix's Wednesday As A Mysterious Nevermore Teacher
Netflix confirmed Lady Gaga's casting in Wednesday season 2 during its Tudum fan event held in Los Angeles' Kia Forum.
It's official! Lady Gaga is joining Jenna Ortega for the second season of Netflix's modern gothic series Wednesday. Putting all the speculation to rest once and for all, the streaming giant confirmed the pop superstar's casting during its Tudum fan event held at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31. Gaga will be playing the role of a Nevermore Academy teacher named Rosaline Rotwood.
As per an announcement shared by Netflix, the 'mysterious and enigmatic" Rosaline Rotwood is 'a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday."
The 39-year-old singer-songwriter performed a mini-set live on stage to treat the audience at the event. In true Lady Gaga fashion, she emerged from a coffin labelled 'Here lies the Monster Queen" to confirm her role in Wednesday season 2.
She crooned a mashup that included songs like Zombieboy and Abracadabra from her newly released album Mayhem. On stage, Gaga also recreated Jenna's viral dance to her song Bloody Mary and even included a dance sequence on Cramps' 1981 song Goo Goo Muck by a group of female dancers dressed like Jenna in Wednesday season 1.
Lady Gaga's entry into the gothic world of Wednesday comes right after her role in the 2024 movie, Joker: Folie a Deux. The film, despite its hype and the success of Joker (2019), failed to perform as per expectations. Lady Gagahad previously proved her acting chops in House of Gucci (2021) and A Star is Born (2018). Her role in A Star Is Born also earned her a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars.
She has previously worked in the horror genre too. Gaga was seen as Elizabeth 'The Countess' Johnson in season five of FX's American Horror Story. She also appeared as Scathach in the sixth instalment of the horror anthology series.
As for Netflix's Wednesday, fans of the hit show got a glimpse of the second season of the hit show when the streaming giant released the first six minutes. It is worth noting that Gaga doesn't appear in that clip. She will reportedly be seen in Part 2 of Wednesday season 2.
Besides Jenna and Gaga, season 2 will also feature Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Luis Guzman, Fred Armisen, Hunter Doohan, Isaac Ordonez, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo. Part 1 of Wednesday season 2 will premiere on August 6 on Netflix, followed by Part 2 on September 3.

Sohail Khan, Ex-Wife Seema Sajdeh Return From London Holiday With Sons Nirvaan and Yohan
Sohail Khan was spotted with ex-wife Seema Sajdeh and their sons, Nirvaan and Yohan, at Mumbai airport. The family skipped posing but a video is now going viral. Salman Khan's brother, Sohail Khan, was snapped with his ex-wife Seema Sajdeh and their sons last night. Sohail and Seema, who have been divorced, are co-parenting their two sons, Nirvaan and Yohan, and often come together when it is about family. Last night was one such occasion when the duo were snapped together at Mumbai airport as they accompanied their sons, reportedly from a holiday. While the ex-couple avoided posing for the paparazzi, a video of them has surfaced all over social media. Sohail had earlier shared photos with his sons in London on Instagram. Seema, however, didn't feature in them. In the video that has surfaced online, Seema looked stylish in her black-on-black tracksuit featuring a white skeleton print. Meanwhile, Sohail aced his casual avatar. The actor wore a beige T-shirt paired with light blue loose jeans and added a touch of style with a cap. Sohail Khan married designer Seema Sajdeh in 1998 after eloping, and later, they welcomed two sons. However, after 24 years of marriage, their relationship hit rock bottom, and after living separately for some time, they officially got divorced in 2022. Also Read: Salman Khan Reveals Sohail Khan Eloped With Seema Sajdeh, Mocks Their Divorce: 'Ab Woh Bhi Bhaag Gayi' Since then, they have embraced a co-parenting approach, prioritizing their sons' well-being. Seema has emphasized that 'kids come first," and both parents strive to 'do right by them." Seema, who appeared on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, is now reportedly in a new relationship with her ex-fiancé, Vikram Ahuja. It was very recently that Salman Khan made an appearance as a guest on The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, where he didn't hesitate to take a playful dig at his brother Sohail and his divorce with Seema. The actor, who was last seen in Sikandar alongside Rashmika Mandanna, took a witty jab at Sohail's marriage with Seema Sajdeh, which began when they eloped and ended in a quiet separation. Salman continued the story, explaining how Sohail once asked Avinash to vacate the room to make space for him and Seema. Avinash, surprised, reportedly asked, 'This is not fair — how can you get married like this?" On the work front, Sohail Khan was last seen in the Telugu film Arjun: Son of Vyjayanthi. His last Bollywood outing was a special appearance in Salman Khan's Dabangg 3. First Published:
