The Addams family is all set to make a comeback to our screens on August 6 with a new mystery. Another exciting thing to look forward to is the entrance of singer-actress Lady Gaga to the series. She will not just grace us with her appearance but will also be launching her new song with the series release. Yes! Lady Gaga wrote the song ‘Dead Dance’ specifically for season two of ‘Wednesday’ and will drop a theatrical music video to boot.
Lady Gaga confirmed to guest star as Rosaline Rotwood, an iconic Nevermore Academy teacher whose mysterious past entwines with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams. In true Lady Gaga fashion, she’s not showing up empty-handed. The singer-songwriter has recorded a brand-new track, slated to drop alongside her appearance. The news was first reported by ‘Variety’.
Co-written with her Mayhem collaborators Andrew Watt and Cirkut, the single is expected to arrive next month with a suitably twisted video release. Fuelling speculation around Lady Gaga’s role, she and ‘Wednesday’ director Tim Burton were recently spotted filming on Mexico’s infamous Island of the Dolls, a creepy locale littered with disfigured dolls and ghostly lore.
