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.

Wednesday, meanwhile, was a major phenomenon when the show’s first season hit Netflix. It stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, and she will return to the role for season 2. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo have all been upgraded to series regulars for the new season, which also stars Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, and Georgie Farmer.

The series has also added Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor in new roles. The exact release date for the new season has not been announced yet, but given that it’s currently filming, it could come sometime next fall. Netflix will likely time the release to coincide with the Halloween season. Whenever it comes back, though, fans will have their eye out for one of the world’s biggest pop stars.

Everything we know so far about Only Murders in the Building season 5

Yet another homicide has happened at the Arconia in Only Murders in the Building

Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez in Only Murders in the Building

Only Murders in the Building season 4 came to a close with one of its most succinct finales in the series. Charles, Oliver, and Mabel solved the murder of Sazz Pataki and brought justice to Jane Lynch's character in an orderly fashion, but there would be no further seasons of this spooky show if the murderous pattern in the Arconia were to end this time. The episode closed with two more mysteries to be solved next season.
Only Murders in the Building has been one of the biggest hits on Hulu since it premiered in 2021. Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short make up one of the most endearing trios ever assembled on TV. Martin and Short have been longtime friends and collaborators, therefore Gomez's addition is what elevated the show into a more dynamic and age-diverse comedy. We're so glad they'll all be back for a fifth go-around. This is everything we know about Only Murders in the Building season 5.

What will Only Murders in the Building season 5 be about?
It looks like there will be two different murder cases in the fifth season of the show. The main murder storyline revolves around Lester the doorman. At the end of the fourth season finale, the podcasting trio finds Lester's corpse in the fountain outside of the Arconia. Blood has pooled around the outside of the fountain in one of the show's more graphic depictions of violence in four seasons so far. This comes on the heels of a joyous union between Oliver and Loretta. The juxtaposition between happiness and sadness works so well in Only Murders in the Building and allows it to operate as a drama and a dark comedy at the same time.

9 best baseball documentaries to watch now that the season is over

These docs on the diamond will teach and entertain!

There's just something so rich and satisfying about baseball. Whether you're a fan of the diamond or not, the sport is undeniably ingrained in American culture in a way other games like football, basketball, and hockey can't quite match. One of the reasons for this is the expansive historical context against which the sport can be measured. Major League Baseball has been going on since the middle of the 19th century. Kids and parents have been playing catch in the yard for just as long.

Documentary films have done a fantastic job of capturing the magic and the significance of America's pastime. They can be hours upon hours of interviewing and found footage, or they can share just a fleeting moment of the game, a single story about a player or team that matters all these years later. These are the best baseball documentaries for diehard fans of the sport and newcomers alike!

8 thrilling shows to watch if you’re a fan of The Lincoln Lawyer

What to watch after Mickey Haller's legal adventures

Mad Men double breasted

The legal drama is one of the most well-worn genres in television. From the days of Perry Mason to the current reboot of Matlock, it seems people never get sick of watching lawyers take down the criminals . . . or commit the wrongdoings themselves. The Lincoln Lawyer is the latest in the long legacy of dramas set in the courtroom or adjacent to it. The Netflix series stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as a downtrodden attorney who must make his law practice work with no office but rather the comfy confines of a luxury SUV.

The Lincoln Lawyer is based on a series of novels by Michael Connelly. Matthew McConaughey previously starred in a film adaptation of the same story in 2011. If you've exhausted all of the material in the world, from the books to the third season of the show that recently finished, we have you covered. These legal dramas are full of interesting characters, thrilling storylines, and fascinating twists that are even better than those presented in the aforementioned Netflix hit!
