Nevermore Academy is about to welcome its newest and most famous enigma. Lady Gaga has been confirmed as a cast member for Wednesday Season 2, a role that is being kept tightly under wraps but was teased in a new trailer.
Accompanying her mysterious performance is a new single, “The Dead Dance,” which she announced will be released on September 3, 2025. The song’s launch is timed with the premiere of the season’s second part, where it will be featured.
Gaga shared the news at a special gala in New York alongside the show’s cast. While she remained tight-lipped about her character, she expressed joy over the experience, particularly working with the show’s cast and director Tim Burton.
The trailer’s chilling voiceover—”Beware, there will be a price to pay”—is the only clue fans have, suggesting a powerful, and possibly villainous, new character. Lady Gaga’s role is now the central mystery heading into the new season.
