The rumors are true: Lady Gaga is officially part of the Wednesday universe. The Grammy-winning artist revealed she has created a new single, “The Dead Dance,” specifically for the show’s highly anticipated second season. The track will drop on September 3, 2025, a date shared with the release of the season’s second installment.
The news was broken during a promotional “Graveyard Gala” in New York City on Thursday, August 28. Lady Gaga took to the stage with cast members Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday to share the exciting development. “It’s a part of the show, and I’m so excited for you to see it,” she shared with the enthusiastic audience.
Fans at the gala were given an exclusive preview of “The Dead Dance” in a memorable way—through coffin-shaped listening stations. The immersive experience was designed to capture the gothic aesthetic of the series, perfectly setting the stage for the new music. Gaga’s creative genius is expected to bring a new layer of intrigue to the show’s soundtrack.
Beyond the music, Gaga’s presence will be felt within the season itself. She spoke highly of her experience collaborating with the show’s team, including the iconic Tim Burton. Her role is still shrouded in mystery, but a new trailer teases her involvement with a foreboding voiceover, hinting at a significant new character arc.
