Lady Gaga Channels Wednesday Addams' Gothic Glam in New ‘Abracadabra' Performance
Gaga took the stage for an eight-minute performance, and right after, Netflix shared the first six minutes of the long-awaited new season of Wednesday. To match the Addams Family mood, Gaga performed a special three-song set of horror-tinged tunes starting with Mayhem's 'Zombieboy' before going into her Born This Way favorite, 'Bloody Mary.'

The performance closed with 'Abracadabra,' the lead single from Mayhem, and the new clip Netflix has shared finds Gaga barreling through the end of the song alongside a troop of dancers and a smidge of deep red lipstick (or is it blood?) smeared on her face. The performance ends with Gaga returning to a coffin alongside the beloved disembodied hand, Thing, as the Addams Family theme plays.
Along with her performance, Gaga was able to finally share some new details about her cameo role in Season Two of Wednesday. She's set to play Rosaline Rotwood, described as a 'legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday' at some point during the second half of the season. Wednesday Season Two is set to premiere on Sept. 3.
Gaga released her most recent album, Mayhem, back in March, marking her first proper album of all new material since 2020's Chromatica. (Though in between, she released several projects, including a second collaboration with Tony Bennett and a companion album for Joker: Folie à Deux.) Gaga has since taken the album on the road, headlining Coachella, playing shows in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Singapore, and prepping for the North American leg of her tour, which kicks off July 16 in Las Vegas.

Netflix Renews Brazilian Crime Hit ‘Criminal Code' For Season 3
Netflix has cracked the Criminal Code, renewing the hit crime drama exactly one month after Season 2 dropped on the streamer. Coming out of Netflix Brazil, the series is produced by Heitor Dhalia's São Paulo-based label Paranoïd. The current season of the show has performed strongly in the Netflix charts, making the top-ten on home turf and in scores of other territories including, notably, Argentina, Portugal, and Nigeria. The first season was also a ratings hit and the show's loyal international audience explains the speedy Season 3 order.

It was originally inspired by a real-life robbery. The action in Season 2 took in a prison break and followed the Phantom Gang as they undertook more daring heists while pursued by the cops. Heitor Dhalia is the series director and showrunner. In an exclusive sit-down with Deadline ahead of Season 2, he broke down why he thinks Criminal Code has resonated with viewers. 'Crime series must respect the codes of the universe we portray; this is one of the secrets that captures the audience's attention,' he said at the time. 'We researched and deeply understood the crime universe, working with real consultants, police from all forces, and former criminals, ex-bank robbers, and ex-international traffickers.' Speaking about the new season, Haná Vaisman, Director of Scripted Series at Netflix Brazil, paid tribute to 'the tireless dedication of Paranoïd and the talents of our writers, directors, producers, and cast.' He added that Criminal Code is a sign of Netflix's commitment to Brazilian originals. 'Continuing to invest in these complex narrative worlds is also a way to reinforce our commitment to Brazilian audiovisual storytelling and to support stories that grow alongside the audience.'
