Some shows capture the collective imagination of the internet, becoming a cultural phenomenon almost overnight. The first season of Wednesday did exactly that, with its viral ‘Goo Goo Muck’ dance becoming a sensation that had fans around the globe recreating its moves. Now, as anticipation builds for the second season, fans are speculating about the highly anticipated involvement of pop icon Lady Gaga and whether a new, electrifying track from her may be the key to delivering another viral moment for the show.  

The highly secretive nature of the project has kept fans on their toes, but new details have officially confirmed her involvement.

What is the talk about Lady Gaga’s new music in Wednesday 2?

A Graveyard Gala in New York City celebrated Wednesday Season 2, featuring a spooky world. The event saw cast members like Jenna Ortega in attendance, but the biggest surprise was the appearance of Lady Gaga. The pop icon announced her new song, ‘The Dead Dance,’ which will be featured in the show’s upcoming part of season 2. Guests at the event were treated to an exclusive first listen to a snippet of the new single, which the artist revealed was inspired by a breakup. She told Tudum that the song is about “the way that we sometimes feel when it’s over,” but also about finding joy with friends after a difficult experience. 

Fans went crazy after the announcement of the song, as it is yet to be released on September 3, 2025. Beyond Lady Gaga’s announcement in the show, as per Tudum, Lady Gaga has a long history of chart-topping hits that have cemented her status as a global pop icon. Her top songs include the synth-pop dance anthem ‘Just Dance’
from 2008 and the electrifying ‘Bad Romance’ from 2009. Other notable hits are ‘Poker
Face’ with its infectious beat, ‘Born This Way,’ an anthem of self-acceptance,
and the emotional ballad ‘Shallow’ from the film A Star Is Born, which
won her an Oscar.   

While the new song offers a peek into her musical
contribution to the series, the true identity of her character remains a
popular source of speculation.

Unraveling Lady Gaga’s mysterious role

Jenna Ortega has spilled the beans on the rumors surrounding Lady Gaga’s role in the much-anticipated second season. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ortega debunked prior reports that the pop icon will not portray a role that fans are speculating. She said, what one is thinking ‘is wrong”. This revelation dispels widespread speculation and reshapes expectations for the series’ direction, adding a new layer of mystery to the character’s true identity. This new character is not the only way the pop icon is joining the Wednesday universe.   

One popular theory suggests that Lady Gaga could play Ophelia Frump, a long-lost aunt of Wednesday Addams. Another possibility is that she may be an inmate at Willow Hill, potentially Morticia Addams’ sister. This theory is supported by comments from Catherine Zeta-Jones as she spoke to Entertainment Tonight, who portrays Morticia, who has speculated that the new character is genetically related to the Addams Family. The secretive nature of the role promises an exciting twist for viewers.
