“There’s definitely dances in the show,” she teased to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday (March 13). “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.”

While details regarding Gaga’s role are still unknown, the superstar joined the cast two years after her song “Bloody Mary” made its way to a viral TikTok trend surrounding the first season of the hit Addams Family-inspired show.

When the scene of Ortega — who plays the titular role of Wednesday Addams — dancing to The Cramps’ 1981 single “Goo Goo Muck” went viral, fans began editing the sequence to the Born This Way deep cut. The edits sparked a broader trend on TikTok of users re-creating the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star’s choreography, which the Oscar winner herself tried out that December.

Ortega previously discussed working with Gaga with Access Hollywood at SXSW. “I love working with Gaga,” she said. “I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her a couple of times now, and she has only ever been unbelievably sweet and just precious.”

“It’s insane to see someone with such a bold persona and just bursting with this incredible, unachievable talent for most — but also be able to hear them say ‘Cut,’ Tim Burton saying ‘Cut,’ and having a normal conversation [with her] about what you had for breakfast. It’s super strange and I’m incredibly grateful,” the actress continued.
