The pop icon Lady Gaga is set to debut an original track and guest role in the upcoming season of Netflix’s hit series.

August 4, 2025: Lady Gaga is officially making her Wednesday debut—both on-screen and on the soundtrack. The global superstar will release a brand-new song titled “Dead Dance” for the second season of Netflix’s gothic comedy Wednesday, further deepening her creative connection to the show that helped reignite one of her past hits.

A New Anthem for Nevermore

Gaga’s original song, Dead Dance, is slated to premiere next month alongside the release of Part 2 of Wednesday Season 2. The track, described as dark, theatrical, and hauntingly catchy, is expected to serve as a major moment in the upcoming episodes. A full music video will accompany the release, bringing Gaga’s signature avant-garde style into the eerie world of Nevermore Academy.

Gaga Joins the Cast

In addition to contributing to the soundtrack, Lady Gaga will appear in Season 2 as Rosaline Rotwood, a mysterious and revered teacher at Nevermore. Her character is said to have a deep understanding of gothic folklore and a complicated history with other faculty members. While Gaga won’t appear in the first half of the season, fans can expect her entrance in Part 2, which premieres on September 3, 2025.

Wednesday Season 2 is split into two parts, with Part 1 launching August 6, 2025.

From Viral Trend to Full Circle

Gaga’s involvement with Wednesday feels like destiny. In 2022, her decade-old song Bloody Mary surged in popularity after fans used it for a viral TikTok dance mimicking Wednesday Addams’ now-iconic prom scene. The phenomenon propelled the track back onto global music charts and introduced Gaga’s gothic-pop sound to a new generation.

This full-circle moment cements Gaga as not just an inspired musical choice—but a narrative one too.

What Fans Can Expect

With a new song, a new role, and a return to her darker, theatrical roots, Dead Dance promises to be a standout moment in the Wednesday universe. Whether it sparks another TikTok trend or becomes a Halloween playlist staple, Gaga’s eerie anthem is bound to leave a lasting impression.

The world of Nevermore just got a whole lot more glamorous—and deadly.
