Wednesday Season 2 Taps Lady Gaga for New Music and Mystery Role

The second season of Wednesday is getting a major dose of star power. Netflix has enlisted Lady Gaga for a significant contribution, which includes a brand-new single called “The Dead Dance” and a role in the show itself. The song is set for a September 3, 2025 release.
This exciting news was shared by Lady Gaga at the Graveyard Gala in New York, a special event for the series. She appeared with Jenna Ortega and other cast members, announcing that her new track will be released on the same day as the second part of the new season, hinting at its importance to the plot.
Gaga’s involvement has been a topic of fan speculation for months, particularly after her viral nod to the show’s dance scene. Now, her participation is confirmed, with the artist praising the experience of working with the cast and director Tim Burton. A new trailer further teases her presence with a sinister, Gaga-esque voiceover.
Fans at the New York event were treated to an exclusive preview of “The Dead Dance” in unique coffin-like listening booths. This creative launch hints at the dark and theatrical tone fans can expect from both the song and Gaga’s performance in the series.
