In a grand reveal at the Graveyard Gala in New York, Lady Gaga announced her entry into the world of Wednesday. The superstar confirmed her new single, “The Dead Dance,” is for the show and will be released on September 3, 2025, alongside the second part of the new season.
The event itself was a spectacle, with Gaga taking the stage with Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday. She electrified the audience with the news, confirming the song’s deep connection to the show’s plot. Attendees were even treated to a first listen in coffin-shaped listening booths.
Gaga also confirmed her on-screen role, putting an end to months of fan speculation. She shared her enthusiasm for working on the series, particularly with director Tim Burton. A recent trailer has amplified the mystery surrounding her character with a menacing voiceover performance.
This multi-pronged involvement—as a musician, actress, and promotional force—makes Lady Gaga a central figure in the upcoming season. “The Dead Dance” is now set to be the anthem for Wednesday‘s highly anticipated return.
