The “Wednesday” universe just got a major upgrade. Pop icon Lady Gaga is officially joining Season 2 of the Netflix hit, and she’s bringing more than just acting chops. Gaga will debut a brand-new song, “Dead Dance,” tied directly to her mysterious character’s arrival — and fans are already losing it.
Meet Rosaline Rotwood Played By Lady Gaga
Gaga will play Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore Academy teacher with a shadowy past. Described as both enigmatic and powerful, Rotwood is expected to clash and connect with Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) in ways that shake up the story — and Nevermore itself.
“Dead Dance” – A Song For “Wednesday” Season 2
Adding to the excitement, Gaga will drop “Dead Dance” next month, right as Season 2 premieres. Produced by Andrew Watt and Cirkut (the duo behind tracks from her hit album Mayhem), the song is said to be a gothic-pop banger that perfectly matches the show’s haunting aesthetic.
Fans can expect more dark humor, horror, and twisted mystery in Season 2, with returning showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and Tim Burton once again behind the camera. “Wednesday” will face new foes, more secrets, and perhaps… unexpected allies.
Gaga’s Mayhem album recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with standout tracks like “Abracadabra” and “Die With a Smile.” She’s currently on her sold-out Mayhem Ball tour, wowing fans across North America and Europe — and now she’s set to conquer Netflix too.
The internet is already buzzing with fan theories about Rosaline Rotwood. Will she be a mentor? A villain? Both? With Gaga’s trademark flair and emotional depth, her role promises to be unforgettable — and might even pave the way for future Tim Burton collabs. Variety first reported the news.
