The Burton-directed piece, filmed on Xochimilco’s Isla de las Muñecas, anchors a coordinated rollout tied to the show’s second-season drop.

Overview

  • Lady Gaga released The Dead Dance on September 3 alongside a Burton-helmed video timed to the second-half debut of Wednesday’s season two.
  • The video was shot on the Isla de las Muñecas in Xochimilco, opening in black and white before shifting to color with dolls animating and masked dancers.
  • Gaga appears in the new episodes as Rosaline Rotwood, a Nevermore teacher introduced later in the season.
  • Music supervisor Jen Malone says the track is a completely new Gaga composition for the series, produced with Andrew Watt and Cirkut.
  • The launch follows Gaga’s Graveyard Gala reveal and aligns with her Mayhem Ball tour, quickly drawing wide online attention to the Mexican location and gothic imagery.
