Despite the fact that Girl Gaga wasn’t in Wednesday Season 1, she grew to become inextricably tied to the present when TikTok customers paired Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega’s) now-iconic dance scene with a sped-up model of Gaga’s “Bloody Mary.” (Within the present, the dance was set to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck.”)

Gaga rapidly embraced the connection, getting in on the viral dance trend herself. She even posted concerning the pattern on X, writing, “Slay Wednesday! You are welcome at Haus of Gaga anytime (and produce Factor with you, we love paws round right here)”

However as an alternative of Wednesday coming to Gaga, it was Gaga who got here to Wednesday. In Nov. of 2024, Entertainment Weekly broke the news that Gaga would star in Wednesday Season 2. The casting was a match made in heaven, not solely due to the “Bloody Mary” connection, but additionally as a result of Girl Gaga, Mom Monster herself, is mainly the patron saint of outcasts like these we meet in Wednesday. She would match proper in at Nevermore!

Because the casting announcement, Gaga has been a key a part of the Wednesday media machine. She carried out an eight-minute medley at Netflix’s TUDUM occasion in June of 2025, she turned seems to be on the Wednesday premiere purple carpet, and he or she even launched a brand new single, “The Lifeless Dance,” tied to the discharge of Wednesday Season 2, Half 2.

Who does Girl Gaga play in Wednesday Season 2?

It is a disgrace, then, that Gaga is barely in Wednesday. She reveals up in Season 2, episode 6 as Rosaline Rotwood, a long-dead psychic Raven and Nevermore trainer who taught Wednesday’s Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley). Wednesday visits her grave to be able to quickly restore her psychic skill.

In a imaginative and prescient, Rosaline — floating ethereally in an all-white robe — exams Wednesday’s resolve. She’ll give her her energy again for so long as Wednesday manages to carry her hand over a lit candle. If she removes her hand too early, she’ll need to pay a horrible worth. (Should you’ve ever questioned how Girl Gaga would execute Dune‘s gom jabbar check, now you understand.)

After all, Wednesday’s plan goes awry when Enid (Emma Myers) snaps her out of her imaginative and prescient. That prompts the horrible worth: a physique swap between the 2 polar opposites. From then on out, Rosaline vanishes from the episode, save for a short second when she mainly FaceTimes Wednesday (in Enid’s physique) by way of a statue.

How lengthy is Girl Gaga in Wednesday?

So how lengthy is Gaga’s much-hyped Wednesday look? Utilizing very scientific strategies (an iPhone timer) and a strict rubric (I am solely counting scenes, not the picture of her portrait or the runtime of “The Lifeless Dance”), I found that Gaga was in Wednesday for a whopping one minute and 42 seconds. That is half an “Abracadbra”!

Gaga’s quick runtime feels borderline felony given her appearing prowess (she’s an Oscar nominated actress!) and the hype within the lead-up to the looks. However earlier than we lock Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar up within the “Phone” jail for the shortage of Gaga, it is essential to keep in mind that Gaga was solely on Wednesday‘s set for one day, which means we had been by no means going to get something greater than a glorified cameo. Nonetheless, a lady can dream.

Plus, in terms of cameos, Gaga floating round onscreen, channeling Wednesday‘s model of a Bene Gesserit, after which kicking off Freaky Friday-style physique swap chaos is not a foul strategy to go.

Wednesday Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
