Lady Gaga’s sinister voiceover shocks fans in Wednesday’s season 2 trailer, hinting at a deadly cost
The countdown to the second half of Wednesday’s season 2 has taken a sinister turn. Netflix has dropped a brand-new trailer, and while it promises dark twists, it’s the unexpected cameo that’s stealing the spotlight. None other than global pop icon Lady Gaga will appear as a guest star in the final four episodes — and her first on-screen moment is already sending chills through fans.
The trailer opens with a jaw-dropping reveal: Principal Larissa Weems, played by Gwendoline Christie, is not dead after all. She returns to tell Wednesday Addams she needs a new spirit guide, a role Weems is ready to take on. This revelation sets the stage for Wednesday’s next dangerous quest. But danger is never far away — Tyler Galpin, played by Hunter Doohan, remains at large and is hunting Wednesday and her friends.
As the tension builds, the clip delivers its biggest shock in the final moments. A chilling voiceover cuts through the darkness: “Beware. There will be a price to pay.” The voice is unmistakably Lady Gaga’s. Netflix’s press release confirms her as a guest star, hinting that her presence will extend beyond just this voice cameo. The full details of her role remain a tightly guarded secret, leaving fans to speculate wildly about whether she will be an ally, an enemy, or something in between.
Adding to the drama, Netflix has unveiled new promotional images and an eye-catching poster for season 2. In it, Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday lies inside a coffin, arms crossed over her chest, her signature icy glare fixed on the viewer. The tagline beneath reads: “Season 2 will be the death of me.” It’s an ominous promise, perfectly in line with the show’s dark humour.
According to Netflix’s official synopsis, Wednesday returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, facing a mix of fresh foes and lingering threats. This year, she must navigate tangled relationships with family, friends, and old adversaries while being drawn into another bone-chilling supernatural mystery. Her razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm will once again be tested in a world of delightfully macabre chaos.
The first four episodes of season 2 are already streaming, offering plenty of sinister style and biting humour. Part 1 has kept audiences hooked with its mix of mystery, supernatural tension, and clever gothic visuals — even if some critics remain measured in their praise. IGN’s review of Season 2 Part 1 rated it 6 out of 10, describing it as “passably entertaining” with strong visuals and a standout performance from Ortega.
Part 2, due for release on 3 September, will bring the season to its climax. With Tyler on the loose, Weems back in play, and Gaga’s cryptic warning hanging over everything, the stakes have never been higher. Fans now have just weeks to theorise over her character’s identity and role in Wednesday’s fate.
For now, Netflix is staying tight-lipped. But if the trailer is any indication, Wednesday’s path forward will be drenched in dark surprises, laced with peril, and perhaps marked by a price she may not want to pay.
