"She is the best": Wednesday lead Jenna Ortega praises co-star Lady Gaga

According to reports, the film has almost wrapped filming. The cast has been giving interviews, offering slight revelations about the upcoming season. In a recent interview, Ortega shared her experience working with Lady Gaga and called her "the best".

"She's the best, definitely one of the most talented individuals I've ever worked with. It was just a really, really special environment to be there with her and Tim [Burton], two people that I respect and have been inspired by so much."

She also added that Lady Gaga is the kindest person and has a generous heart. She called it "strange" to know that the latter tends to be reserved.

The creators and showrunners of the show, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, disclosed that season 2 is going to be even darker as Wednesday will delve into mysteries involving her family and friends.

In one of Ortega's previous interviews, she described an incident that happened years ago. Her hair stylist was working with Gaga, Jenna had just attended her concert. Gaga sent her a personalised video greeting her and acknowledging that she is a fan. Ortega said she highly doubted that Gaga knew who she was during that time, but her modesty was impressive.

Years later, an iconic dance sequence from season 1 of Wednesday is set to the beat of Lady Gaga's song Bloody Mary. In the interview, she was asked if she was able to discuss the scene with her during the shoot of Season 2.

"Bloody Mary"? "No, actually, we didn't. I don't think we did. We should have. Actually, I can't remember. Maybe I just saw an interview clip of her talking about it because I feel like I'm fabricating this story in my head, but I think, honestly, on that day, we all were just so lucky that she came to do the show that we kept it as normal as we could."
