Lady Gaga will be a part of the second season of a major Netflix hit

The series is one of the biggest hits in the history of Netflix.

Lady Gaga’s acting career has been pretty impressive to date, and she’s about to add another credit to her resume. Variety is reporting that the pop star will be featured in the second season of Wednesday. The role is not expected to be major, but the exact details of it are being kept under wraps. The second season is currently filming in Ireland. Sources say that the show’s producers tried to recruit Gaga for a more significant role, but that didn’t ultimately work out.

Gaga’s acting career started almost a decade ago with roles in multiple series American Horror Story and eventually went on to roles in A Star Is BornHouse of Gucci, and most recently, Joker: Folie a Deux.

Wednesday, meanwhile, was a major phenomenon when the show’s first season hit Netflix. It stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, and she will return to the role for season 2. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo have all been upgraded to series regulars for the new season, which also stars Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, and Georgie Farmer.

The series has also added Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor in new roles. The exact release date for the new season has not been announced yet, but given that it’s currently filming, it could come sometime next fall. Netflix will likely time the release to coincide with the Halloween season. Whenever it comes back, though, fans will have their eye out for one of the world’s biggest pop stars.

Reacher season 4: Everything we know so far
Jack Reacher's TV series will be back for a fourth time on Prime Video
Alan Ritchson in Reacher season 3

Reacher is one of Amazon Prime Video's best successes of the decade. Starring Alan Ritchson and based on the books by novelist Lee Child, the adaptation of the beloved action stories has been an affordable, simple, and effective adventure series that people have fallen in love with across the first three seasons. There was a lot of skepticism when the show was first greenlit, especially because the film version with Tom Cruise wasn't as good as fans expected. Instead, Ritchson and the creative team have fantastically absorbed all of the snappy writing from the books and added to it with their own unique flair.

With the third season of the show done airing, fans are looking forward to when the fourth season will come out. We have a bunch of shows like Reacher you can watch in the meantime, but sometimes that doesn't serve as an adequate substitute for the real thing. Fortunately, we have all the answers you need about Reacher season 4 right here.

8 actors we would love to see in an all-star season of The White Lotus
With dozens of great actors to choose from, creator Mike White can form an incredible All-Star team
The cast of The White Lotus season 1

With The White Lotus season 3's explosive finale in the history books, we fans are already looking ahead at where the show's fourth season could take us. From potential actors who will embody the next set of spoiled characters to a large list of locations the series could travel to, the possibilities are endless for the HBO hit show. Creator Mike White hinted that there is a possibility that what comes next could be an ode to the past, though.

The White Lotus forming an all-star edition season would be an awesome way to say thank you to the fans who have watched all three seasons of the anthology so far. I thought it would be a lot of fun to brainstorm a roster of superstars that would set up a dynamic season in which we'd get some answers regarding our favorite characters while also seeing these people interact in a new vacation setting. I'm also not including anyone who already appeared in multiple seasons of the show; sorry to Greg, Belinda, and Tanya (RIP to our queen Jennifer Coolidge). These are the White Lotus all-stars we need in our lives.

Can The Last of Us season 2 redeem the controversial choices of the second game?
The Last of Us season 2 has a tall task ahead
Gabriel Luna and Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us

The Last of Us franchise has become one of the most universally loved stories in both gaming and TV. There's a reason the show got the green light: The video game is a modern classic that raised the bar for future games with its graphics, character design, adventure gameplay, and mature aesthetic. The Last of Us lets people know that video games are much more than just a cheap diversion; they are artwork in their own right. The Last of Us TV show took it a step further and cemented the series as one that is complex enough to be told in multiple mediums. The zombie genre has more respect than ever, and post-apocalyptic storytelling is now respected even more due to the success of the first season.

This is where things get interesting and controversial, though. The second The Last of Us game is known for some plot decisions and character developments that fans thought were a slap in the face to the first game. The Last of Us season 2 now stands on the precipice of either greatness or a repeat of the same mistakes its source material made. Is it possible for the series to tweak the plot while still staying faithful to creator Neil Druckmann's vision?
