Wednesday season 2 is adding “Mother Monster” to its cast. According to EW, Lady Gaga will appear in Wednesday season 2.

The details surrounding Gaga’s role remain under wraps. However, the multi-time Grammy Award winner is currently filming in Ireland for the show. Since the initial news broke, Variety has since reported that Gaga’s role will be a cameo in the second season. Gaga and Wednesday’s creative team tried to secure the pop star a bigger role, but it ultimately did not work out.

This is not the first time Gaga’s name has been brought up for Wednesday. Wednesday Addams’ famous dance scene in season 1 went viral on TikTok after it received a remix set to Gaga’s Bloody Mary.

“I’m sure Netflix would love that,” Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega told Variety in January 2023 about Gaga potentially joining the series. “I think Mrs. Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other in a certain way, so, if Lady Gaga were to be a part, I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other.”

Gaga rose to prominence as an actor in 2018’s A Star Is Born. Gaga received two Oscar nominations for A Star Is Born, winning Best Original Song for Shallow. Since then, Gaga played Patrizia Reggiani in House of Gucci and Harleen “Lee” Quinzel in Joker: Folie à Deux.

Released in 2022, Wednesday season 1 is Netflix’s most-watched English-language TV series ever. Wednesday season 2 premieres in 2025.

Comcast’s breakup is the bluntest warning yet that the cable bundle is losing its grip
Peacock and Xfinity customers should see stability now as NBCUniversal's split rewires the logic behind future streaming perks.

Comcast's breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn't expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split.

NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year.

If you have ever scrambled for the remote because a commercial is suddenly blasting twice as loud as the show you were watching, relief is on the way.

Starting July 1, California is making it illegal for streaming platforms to run ads louder than the content they interrupt. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill, known as SB 576, back in October 2025, and it finally takes effect this week.

3 underrated Apple TV shows you should watch this weekend (June 26-28)
3 critically loved Apple TV+ shows that somehow still fly under the radar.

Apple TV makes excellent shows that somehow never break into the mainstream conversation the way Severance or Ted Lasso did. These three picks all share that frustrating pattern, stacked with critical praise, loved by the people who found them, and still criminally underwatched.

Between them, you get a mystery comedy, a sweeping historical drama, and a sharp workplace sitcom, which is proof that Apple's range goes way beyond its biggest hits. If you're looking for something genuinely great that flew under your radar, start here.
