A collaboration that seems destined to happen is finally a reality: Tim Burton and Lady Gaga are working together on Wednesday Season 2. Gaga has confirmed she will release a new single, “The Dead Dance,” for the show and will also star in a mysterious role.
The artist shared the news at a special event in New York City on August 28. She announced the song will be released on September 3, 2025, the same day the second part of the new season premieres. Gaga praised Burton and the cast, calling her time on the show “wonderful.”
For years, fans have noted the aesthetic similarities between Gaga’s theatrical visuals and Burton’s gothic filmmaking. This project brings their two distinct, yet complementary, worlds together in what promises to be a visually and sonically stunning season of television.
A new trailer for the series has already teased Gaga’s involvement with a sinister voiceover. Combined with the upcoming release of “The Dead Dance,” this partnership is poised to deliver one of the most memorable pop culture moments of the year.
