Jenna Ortega can't help but heap praise on Lady Gaga following their work together in the second season of Tim Burton's Netflix hit, Wednesday.
Ortega, known for her role as Wednesday Addams in the series created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, shared her enthusiasm with IndieWire during a SXSW Film Festival appearance promoting her upcoming film, Death of a Unicorn, opposite Paul Rudd.
Working with Lady Gaga and Burton was, according to Ortega, an unparalleled experience. As she told IndieWire, "She's the best, definitely one of the most talented individuals I've ever worked with." Ortega added that the set with Gaga and Burton was a "really special environment."
Details regarding Gaga's role in Wednesday Season 2 have yet to be revealed, although rumors of her casting surfaced in November. According to IndieWire, Ortega wrapped filming on the season's second season in December 2024.
Confirming earlier reports, IndieWire also revealed that Gaga's appearance on the series is more of a cameo.
Gaga herself has remained tight-lipped about her role, telling Entertainment Weekly during a Mayhem album interview, "I don't want to give anything away about being part of the show... But, I love Jenna, and I really had an amazing time!"
In other news, Lady Gaga and Joquin Phoenix took home the Worst Screen Combo prize at the 2025 Razzie Awards, preceding Gaga's hosting and musical debut on Saturday Night Live the following weekend.
"I've been very diligent about selecting films that showcase my craft as a serious actor," Gaga quipped during her SNL monologue. "Films such as Joker 2... We even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. But the joke's on them. I love winning things, and my Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGOT. It's like an EGOT, but hurtful!"
An EGOT, an acronym for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony, is a prestigious honor in the entertainment industry. Lady Gaga has won an Oscar for co-writing the 2018 tune "Shallow" from A Star is Born and four Grammys.
Netflix has yet to announce a release date for Wednesday Season 2.
