Wednesday Season 2 is upping the stakes, and this time, it’s got Lady Gaga written all over it. Not only is she joining the cast as the mysterious and magnetic Rosaline Rotwood, a Nevermore teacher, but she’s also blessing us with a brand-new original track titled Dead Dance. The songstress is set to release the song next month, right around when Wednesday Season 2 will premiere, raising the levels of excitement for her role on the show as both an actress and now as a singer.
Early last month, several outlets reported that Lady Gaga, who is currently headlining her blockbuster “Mayhem Ball” tour, was seen with Tim Burton, director and producer of the show, on the eerie Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, a haunted site south of Mexico City known for its decaying doll displays. The visit sparked speculation about her involvement in Wednesday Season 2. Sources later confirmed that Gaga’s new song Dead Dance was recorded with her “Mayhem” album collaborators Andrew Watt and Cirkut. At the show’s London premiere, Burton praised Gaga, calling their collaboration “inspirational” and hinting at the creative energy she brought to the world of Nevermore.
Speaking to Variety about the actress' involvement in Wednesday Season 2, Burton 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.”
More details on Wednesday Season 2
After taking Netflix by storm in 2022, Wednesday was swiftly renewed in early 2023, no surprises there, considering it clawed past Stranger Things and Bridgerton to become the most-watched original series in the platform’s history, racking up a wild 252 million views and 12 Emmy nominations along the way. Now, nearly two years later, season 2 is crawling back onto our screens with more monsters, more murder, and a whole new level of mystery.
Plot-wise, things are getting intense for Wednesday Season 2. A new trailer shows Wednesday blaming herself for a chilling vision involving Enid’s death. Her mother, Morticia, steps in with some cryptic maternal wisdom, and Grandmama, played by Joanna Lumley, also joins the action. More Addams family members are teased, making things all the more intense.
Cast-wise, expect both fresh faces and familiar freaks. Jenna Ortega returns and now serves as executive producer. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Isaac Ordonez are now series regulars. New cast members include Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Noah Taylor, Evie Templeton, and Owen Painter. Lady Gaga joins as well in a secret role, while her original song Dead Dance adds a musical twist to Season 2. Uncle Fester’s back as Fred Armisen returns, joined by OG Fester, Christopher Lloyd. Other guest stars include Thandiwe Newton, Haley Joel Osment, and Heather Matarazzo.
