In just a few days, it’ll be time to attend the mysterious Nevermore Academy again and see what the clever and witty Wednesday Addams is up to. And after fans watch the first couple of episodes of Wednesday season 2 on August 6th, 2025, they have something else to look forward to.

Wednesday season 1 premiered in November 2022 and modernized Wednesday Addams’s story by showing her life as a new student at Nevermore. Starring Jenna Ortega in the title role, the show features celebrated Addams Family characters like sappy parents Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis) and Wednesday’s annoying little brother Pugsley (Issac Ordonez). The show has some well-crafted new characters, too, such as Wednesday’s classmate Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday) and roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers). Now that Wednesday season 2 is almost here, it’s fun to look back on some intriguing fan theories. Fans will want to hear this fun update as well.

Lady Gaga’s New Song “Dead Dance” Will Be In Wednesday Season 2 (And Fans Can Look Forward To A Video, Too)

Variety reported that Lady Gaga has recorded a new song for Wednesday season 2. Fans will hear the tune, “Dead Dance,” when they watch the new episodes, and both the song and a music video will be released in September 2025.

In November 2024, fans heard that the beloved singer would star in the highly anticipated second season of the Netflix series. For a while, no one was certain about what kind of character she would portray, although many thought that a Nevermore teacher made the most sense. As it turns out, fans were right, and Lady Gaga is playing a teacher named Rosaline Rotwood. The name is definitely dark and eerie, and it’s easy to imagine that the star will make a huge impression as soon as she is introduced.

During a March 2025 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jenna Ortega praised Lady Gaga’s talent and described how cool and thrilling it was to have the massive star on the Wednesday season 2 Ireland set. Given Lady Gaga’s musical talents and memorable sense of style, there’s no doubt that her appearance will be unforgettable and mysterious.

Recently, Wednesday executive producer and director Tim Burton spoke to Variety about Lady Gaga’s time on the series. He said:

“She’s such an artist and so for me, working with an artist is inspirational. But I felt that way about Joanna and Steve, who I’ve worked with before. These people come on this set, you see the whole crew kind of light up. It’s a beautiful thing to witness.”

Besides co-starring with Bradley Cooper in the remake of A Star Is Born), Lady Gaga’s most memorable role was playing a vampire named The Countess in American Horror Story: Hotel. The singer also made headlines when she did a dance inspired by Wednesday on TikTok. Since she was clearly a fan of the show and of Ortega, it was great news when viewers learned that she would play a guest role in the second season. The trailer also teases a second dance scene, and fans can’t wait to see what moves Wednesday has this time around.

Lady Gaga isn’t the only thrilling new addition to the hit show. Haley Joel Osment, known for his childhood acting career that kicked off with his turn as Cole Sear in The Sixth Sense, is playing a villain called The Kansas City Scalper. Steve Buscemi is also starring as Wednesday’s new principal.

Wednesday season 2 will be released in two parts, with the first arriving on Netflix on August 6th, 2025. The second batch of episodes will be available on September 3rd, 2025.
