Wednesday Addams finds social interaction distasteful, but even she might have tolerated tonight\u2019s Graveyard Gala. Netflix and Spotify gave Wednesday<\/a> Season 2, Part 2 a fittingly spooky celebration, inviting 300 fans, influencers, and press \u2014 including top Gaga and Wednesday listeners on Spotify \u2014 to Guastavino\u2019s in New York City for a Graveyard Gala. Wednesday Addams herself, Jenna Ortega<\/a>, was in attendance, alongside fellow cast members Emma Myers<\/a> (Enid Sinclair), and Joy Sunday<\/a> (Bianca Barclay).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The evening began with guests stepping into a fully immersive Tim Burton\u2013inspired world. The party was shrouded in fog, with raven props perched on headstones etched with Wednesday<\/i> Easter eggs scattered throughout the haunted gala. Attendees enjoyed Wednesday<\/i>-themed snacks and cocktails under flickering lanterns as they wandered through moss-covered trees and spider-webbed iron fences. Poets wrote custom, epitaph-worthy haiku for attendees on typewriters, while aura readers revealed which Wednesday<\/i> character matched each guest\u2019s energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance at the event to announce the new song that will be featured in Wednesday<\/i> Season 2. Guests were invited to step inside bespoke coffins for an exclusive first listen to a snippet of the electrifying new single.\u00a0<\/p>\n It was previously revealed at Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event<\/a> that Gaga will also make an appearance in Wednesday<\/i> Season 2, Part 2<\/a> as the mysterious and enigmatic Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday Addams.\u00a0<\/p>\n For Ortega, who\u2019s also a producer on the show, Gaga\u2019s transformation into Rotwood was so seamless, it felt as if she\u2019d always been meant to walk the halls of Nevermore. \u201cIf you\u2019re into Wednesday, if you\u2019re into Lady Gaga, you should be very excited to see her in Part 2 \u2014 it really works. She\u2019s unbelievable. She\u2019s one of the few, rare instances of someone who is so clearly doing what they\u2019re meant to be doing. Just being able to watch her and take her in is a surreal experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Director and executive producer Tim Burton felt the same enthusiasm, praising Gaga\u2019s artistry. \u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of her work for a long time. She makes great music, and she\u2019s a great actress, so for me it was very easy,\u201d he tells Tudum. \u201cShe\u2019s a real artist, and I\u2019m grateful for what she contributed to the show.\u201d<\/p>\n The Grammy, Oscar, and Emmy-winning pop icon herself explains to Tudum, \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to release this song alongside Wednesday<\/i>. I\u2019m a huge fan of the show and had so much fun appearing in it to support \u2018The Dead Dance.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Gaga\u2019s involvement in Wednesday<\/i> Season 2 actually began back in Season 1 following the viral success of \u201cBloody Mary\u201d from the \u201cGoo Goo Muck\u201d dance.<\/p>\n \u201cLady Gaga became a big fan of Season 1 when her song \u2018Bloody Mary\u2019 became the de facto track for Wednesday\u2019s viral dance on TikTok,\u201d co-creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar tell Tudum. \u201cThis year, we wanted her to join the show, and we\u2019re thrilled she agreed.<\/p>\n For the many fans at home who won\u2019t get to hear the song until it is released, Gaga teases that \u201cthe inspiration for \u2018The Dead Dance\u2019 was a breakup, and it was all about the way that we sometimes feel when it\u2019s over; how a relationship ending can kill our ability to feel hopeful about love. It\u2019s got this really cool, funky beat underneath it. And that is when the song becomes not just about the relationship; it becomes about having fun with your friends when you\u2019ve been through something tough and amazing. I can\u2019t wait for people to listen to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
