Lady Gaga is weaving her magic into the fabric of Wednesday Season 2. The artist has not only recorded a new single, “The Dead Dance,” for the series, but she is also playing a role in the upcoming episodes. The highly anticipated track is scheduled to be released on September 3, 2025.
The multi-talented star made the announcement at the Graveyard Gala in New York on August 28, a star-studded event promoting the new season. Standing with Jenna Ortega and her co-stars, Gaga confirmed the song’s integral connection to the show’s plot, with its release timed to coincide with the premiere of the season’s second half.
Gaga’s enthusiasm for the project was palpable as she spoke about her time working on the series. She praised the cast and director Tim Burton, hinting at a deep creative partnership. While she did not appear visually in the latest trailer, a chilling voiceover widely believed to be hers has set the fan community abuzz with theories about her character.
The announcement adds another layer of excitement to what is already one of television’s most anticipated returns. As Gaga prepares for her final New York dates on the Mayhem Ball Tour, fans are left to wonder what her on-screen presence will bring to the dark and delightful world of Nevermore.
