A new era of gothic pop is upon us. Lady Gaga has officially announced that her new single, “The Dead Dance,” will serve as a key musical piece for the second season of Netflix’s Wednesday. Fans can stream the new track starting September 3, 2025, the same day the season’s second part becomes available.
The news broke at a promotional gala in New York City, where Gaga made a surprise appearance with the show’s cast, including Jenna Ortega. She told the cheering crowd that the song is deeply integrated into the show, heightening the anticipation for its dual debut.
In addition to her musical contribution, Gaga is confirmed to have a role in the new season. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work with the show’s creative minds, particularly director Tim Burton. Her character remains a mystery, but a new trailer teases her involvement with an ominous vocal performance, suggesting she may be a new antagonist for Wednesday Addams.
Guests at the reveal event were given an exclusive first listen to “The Dead Dance” in unique coffin-themed listening booths, a detail that perfectly encapsulates the blend of Gaga’s theatricality and Wednesday‘s macabre charm. This collaboration is poised to be a defining pop culture moment of the year.
