Article Summary

  • Lady Gaga drops new single "The Dead Dance" alongside Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 on Netflix.
  • Lady Gaga stars as Nevermore Academy's mysterious Rosaline Rotwood in Wednesday’s second season.
  • "The Dead Dance" is available now on all major streaming platforms, with a music video later today.
  • Lady Gaga and Jenna Ortega’s collaboration builds on their Season 1 connection and mutual admiration.

The bond between series star/EP Jenna Ortega, director/EP Tim Burton, and Showrunners/EPs Al Gough and Miles Millar's Wednesday and Lady Gaga first began with a memorable Season 1 dance and a mutual exchange of love and respect between Ortega and Lady Gaga. With the second part of Season 2 now upon us, we're about to meet Lady Gaga's Rosaline Rotwood, a known Nevermore Academy teacher whose mysterious past entwines with Wednesday (Ortega). But that's far from all, because we learned last month that Lady Gaga would be releasing the single "The Dead Dance" the same day as the streaming series' return – and it's now available for you to check out below (and also on Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, iTunes Store, Pandora, Spotify, Tidal, and YouTube Music).

Wednesday Season 2: What You Need to Know…

This season, Wednesday Addams (Ortega) returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await, leaving her to navigate family, friends, and old adversaries as they propel her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery. Don't forget that the season will be split into two parts – with Part 2 set for September 3rd.
