Jenna Ortega recently sowed distrust in what we think we know about the pop star’s role on the Netflix show.
When Lady Gaga signed on to Tim Burton’s Wednesday for a guest-starring role, fan speculation ramped up in the spooky spheres. The internet seemingly manifested this casting with a TikTok setting the iconic season one scene of Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) at the Rave n’ Dance to Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary” from her 2011 hit album Born This Way. The moment went viral, and the trend reached the pop star, who performed the dance on her social media before announcing she would be joining the Wednesday cast.
During Netflix’s Tudum event, Gaga performed a medley of her dark pop music, complete with an army of Wednesdays to do the dance, while inviting Ortega on stage for a meal of a moment. It really ratcheted up the excitement, but little was known about who Gaga would be portraying.
In an official X post, Netflix described her role as Rosaline Rotwood, a “legendary” teacher at Nevermore Academy. This cryptic detail was also shared:
Rosaline Rotwood. Cloaked in mystery with a reputation that precedes her. Our paths will surely cross. Welcome to mayhem @LadyGaga.

However, in a recent conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Ortega decided to throw a little signature chaos into the discourse of who Gaga is really playing.
