The countdown has begun for a new era of Lady Gaga, one intertwined with the world of Wednesday. Her new single, “The Dead Dance,” arrives on September 3, 2025, and all signs point to it being a dark, theatrical anthem.
Announced at a promotional event in New York, the song’s release is timed with the premiere of the second half of Wednesday Season 2. Gaga herself confirmed the track is an integral part of the show’s story.
This “Wednesday Era” also includes an acting role for Gaga in the series. Teased by a menacing voiceover in a new trailer, her character is expected to be a powerful and possibly antagonistic force. Her collaboration with director Tim Burton is a key point of excitement for fans.
Given the show’s aesthetic and Gaga’s artistic history, fans can expect “The Dead Dance” to be a moody, dance-pop track with gothic undertones, perfectly suited for the halls of Nevermore Academy.
