The queen of pop is embracing the macabre. Lady Gaga has officially announced a new single, “The Dead Dance,” created for the second season of Netflix’s runaway hit, Wednesday. The track is slated for a September 3, 2025 release, timed perfectly with the debut of the season’s second installment.
The news was unveiled at the “Graveyard Gala” in New York, a promotional event for the show. Gaga made a memorable appearance with cast members Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday to deliver the announcement, confirming the song is deeply woven into the fabric of the new episodes.
In addition to the single, Lady Gaga confirmed her participation as a cast member in the upcoming season. She spoke enthusiastically about working alongside director Tim Burton and the show’s stars. A new trailer has added to the intrigue, featuring a sinister voiceover widely attributed to Gaga, hinting at a villainous role.
Attendees at the gala were treated to a sneak peek of “The Dead Dance” in immersive, coffin-themed listening booths. This clever promotional touch highlights the perfect synergy between Gaga’s theatrical style and the dark, whimsical world of Wednesday.
