Jenna Ortega and the cast of Wednesday.

Lady Gaga's acting career has been pretty impressive to date, and she's about to add another credit to her resume. Variety is reporting that the pop star will be featured in the second season of Wednesday. The role is not expected to be major, but the exact details of it are being kept under wraps. The second season is currently filming in Ireland. Sources say that the show's producers tried to recruit Gaga for a more significant role, but that didn't ultimately work out.

Gaga's acting career started almost a decade ago with roles in multiple series American Horror Story and eventually went on to roles in A Star Is Born, House of Gucci, and most recently, Joker: Folie a Deux.

Hacks season 4: Everything we know so far
What can you expect from Hacks season 4?
Jean Smart in Hacks Season 3

Hacks is probably the best show you aren't watching. Through three seasons, this little gem on Max has developed into a powerhouse of emotional resonance, comedy, and female camaraderie. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder star as Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, the former a washed-up stand-up comedian who needs a boost and the latter a Millenial writer who can't get her material to stick. Together, Deborah and Ava form a dynamic duo and start to affect each other's lives in much deeper ways than they ever imagined.

Hacks walked away from this year's Emmy Awards with more than one trophy, and it was very deserving. The chemistry between cast members and creative storytelling is second to none right now in the comedy category. With the third season in the rearview mirror, it's time to think about Hacks season 4! Here is everything we know about the fourth outing so far.
What will Hacks season 4 be about?
Hacks season 4 should pick up right where we left off after a cliffhanger for the ages. Deborah achieved her ultimate success last season when she realized her lifelong goal of becoming a late-night talk show host. Unfortunately for Ava, Deborah believes her program will stand a better chance at renewal with a male head writer. She demotes Ava, a huge stab in the back to her younger comedic partner, who has been endlessly supportive even when it works against her self-interests.
