Music legends including Lady Gaga and Billie Piper have joined the cast for season 2, ensuring the soundtrack for the second instalment of the Tim Burton fantasy series is a treat to listen to.

That was proven even more when Gaga, who plays Rosaline Rotwood, released her new song The Dead Dance to celebrate her appearance.

Last season, the soundtrack for the show absolutely took off, thanks to a TikTok trend sparked by Ortega's dance to The Cramps' Goo Goo Muck.

Thankfully, the season 2 soundtrack has certainly lived up to expectations. Read on for more about the epic needle drops!

Who composed the soundtrack for Wednesday?

The theme music for Wednesday was created by Danny Elfman, the Emmy-winning composer and singer who has worked frequently with Tim Burton. Both Elfman and Chris Bacon (Bates Motel, Smash) composed music for the whole series.

Elfman has written the scores for most of Tim Burton's projects, from Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands to Big Fish, Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas, for which he also provided Jack Skellington's singing voice.

Wednesday is streaming now on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £6.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
