We finally have our first glimpse of Lady Gaga in Wednesday. Netflix shared an image of the pop star as Rosaline Rotwood, teasing it with the caption “A vision in venom.”
The photograph shows Gaga dressed in an ethereal white gown with long white-blonde hair and eyebrows. She’s joined in the image by Thing, seated on her shoulder. Netflix previously described Rosaline as “a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday.”
Lady Gaga’s mysterious character will appear in the second half of Tim Burton‘s Wednesday, which premieres Sept. 3. The singer will debut a new song, “The Dead Dance,” alongside the new episodes. During an event promoting the show with star Jenna Ortega, she told the crowd, “I had a wonderful time working on Wednesday Season Two, even just being a small part of the show. I loved working with Tim Burton and Jenna and everyone here, it’s so incredible. Thank you. I’m also here to confirm my song ‘The Dead Dance’ is coming.”

Wednesday Season Two, Part Two will also feature the return of Gwendoline Christie’s Principal Weems, who died in Season One. A teaser for the episodes showcases Weems as Wednesday’s new “spirit guide.” A synopsis of Part Two notes, “Desperate to avert her prophecy and save Enid’s life, Wednesday reopens a dark chapter in her family’s history — with direct ties to Tyler.”
Along with Christie and Lady Gaga, Season Two guest stars Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Jamie McShane, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, Joonas Suotamo, Fred Armisen, Christopher Lloyd, and Frances O’Connor. New cast members include Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.

Variety originally reported last year that Lady Gaga would make a cameo appearance when the series made its return. It was reported that producers were aiming for Gaga to join the show in a larger capacity, but ultimately settled for a more limited appearance.
