Who is the Mystery Addams Family Member in ‘Wednesday’ Season Two?
They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky. They’re altogether ooky, the Addams Family. Netflix’s “Wednesday“ definitely emphasizes the macabre family’s mysteriousness as it expands for Season 2.
The series is returning for Part 1 on August 6, followed by Part 2 on September 3.
Ahead of the new season, “Wednesday“ recently revealed the extended family members appearing in the second season, including Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, Joonas Suotamo as Lurch, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
Outside of titular character Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), that leaves one extended family noticeably unmentioned among the lineup. The unnamed character is seen in the above family portrait, between Lurch and Fester, but we have no information about who this character is or who the mysterious character is played by.
Additional guest stars for Season 2 include Jamie McShane, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, Joonas Suotamo, Fred Armisen, and Christopher Lloyd, who played Uncle Fester live-action Addams Family movies from the 1990s. All are accounted for in Tudum’s character rundown for the new season.
Noticeably absent among the cast and character breakdown at all is Lady Gaga, who was announced as a cast member last November. The singer, songwriter, and actor has been tight lipped on her role in the series. Could Gaga and this mystery character be one and the same?
“I don’t want to give away anything about being part of the show,“ Gaga previously told EW. “I want to keep it extra secret — but I love Jenna, and I really had an amazing time!“
Ortega’s elusive comments only further fueled speculation. “There’s definitely dances in the show,“ she teased to Entertainment Tonight about Gaga’s role. “I’m not saying anything about her character though! Let her be incredible and amazing. She’s great in the show and I don’t think she’s what people expect her to be.“
Playing a male presenting member of the quirky Addams Family, buried under makeup and prosthetics, would qualify as a role audiences aren’t expecting from Lady Gaga. Of course, this is purely speculation at this point and unconfirmed.
The Grammy-winning artist is performing this weekend at Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event on Saturday, May 31, where the streamer is expected to unveil news and updates on highly buzzed movies and shows, including “Wednesday.“
Could this event bring clues about Lady Gaga’s mysterious role in Season 2? Stay tuned.
Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite series “Devil May Cry” has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.
Created by “Castlevania” showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms.
Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.
Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating 21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.
“For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.‘ Since its inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga‘ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,” Shankar said of the announcement.
The voice cast for “Devil May Cry” Season 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (“Critical Role”) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD, “Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around. “
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
Catch up on the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
