Lady Gaga is preparing to release a new song titled “Death Dance” for the second season of Netflix’s hit series Wednesday, according to sources close to the project. The music video, directed by Tim Burton, was filmed in Mexico, although the exact timing of the shoot remains unclear. Gaga made a trip to Mexico in April, where she performed at concerts in Mexico City.
The news about Gaga’s involvement with Wednesday was initially reported by Variety, which mentioned that the song is set to debut next month. Last year, The Hollywood Reporter announced her guest role in the series, with Netflix confirming her participation at a fan event in May. The first part of Wednesday Season 2 premiered on August 6, and the second part, featuring Gaga, is scheduled for release on September 3.
Burton has expressed enthusiasm about working on the series, describing the character’s unique qualities and his approach to directing. “I’ve never done television,” he said. “So it was the idea of exploring something on a longer time frame, and she’s an interesting character.” He has directed multiple episodes across both the first and second seasons, highlighting his creative vision for the show.
In addition to her work on Wednesday, Lady Gaga is also busy with her Mayhem Ball arena tour, which launched in Las Vegas in July and follows her memorable performance at Coachella earlier this year.
This collaboration is particularly exciting for fans as it brings together a beloved artist and a renowned director, promising a visually captivating experience combined with Gaga’s unique musical style. The anticipation surrounding the release of “Death Dance” and the subsequent season of Wednesday indicates a strong reception ahead.
