Lady Gaga is set to release a new song titled “Death Dance” for Season 2 of Netflix’s Wednesday, accompanied by a music video directed by Tim Burton, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
The insider revealed that the video was filmed in Mexico, though the exact shoot dates remain unclear. Gaga was in Mexico City in April for concerts at Estadio GNP Seguros, which may have coincided with the music video’s production. Variety first reported the news and confirmed that the track will release next month.
Netflix officially announced Gaga’s involvement in Wednesday during a Tudum fan event held in Los Angeles in May. THR had previously reported her casting for a guest role late last year. Part one of Wednesday Season 2 premiered on August 6, while part two — which will include Gaga’s guest appearance — is scheduled to debut on September 3.
Tim Burton, who directed four episodes in both Season 1 and 2, shared his connection with the character and the show. “I’ve never done television, so it was the idea of exploring something on a longer time frame,” Burton told THR in July. “As much as a middle-aged man could feel like a teenage Wednesday Addams, I feel those things. And she’s a character that’s all about being subtle because she doesn’t really have a huge range of emotions.”
Beyond her work on Wednesday, Gaga is also busy with her Mayhem Ball arena tour, which began at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 16. She also headlined Coachella in April with a performance widely hailed as one of the best in the festival’s history.
