Where Is Xavier in Wednesday Season 2 Trailer?

The first full trailer for Wednesday season 2 is here, and fans are wondering if Percy Hynes White’s Xavier Thorpe appears in it. Xavier was introduced as a key character in the first season. His final interaction with Wednesday also hinted that his role was about to expand.

But is he in the trailer and going to be a part of the second season? Here are the details.

Is Percy Hynes White’s Xavier returning in Wednesday Season 2?

No, Percy Hynes White will not return to play Xavier Thorpe in Wednesday season 2.

The reason he is not in the trailer is that he has already exited the Netflix show. This came after allegations of sexual misconduct against Hynes White emerged in January 2023. Hynes has denied the allegations since (via Variety).

But following these allegations, Netflix decided to distance itself from the actor. Hence, his character will not be appearing in Wednesday season 2. It initially seemed that Wednesday would have a love story with Xavier, but the show will now take a different route.

Jenna Ortega also confirmed that the focus will shift away from Wednesday’s love life in the second season. Instead, the second season of the show will lean into the horror aspects of the series.

Not having a romantic angle will also give more time and freedom to Wednesday. This will allow the show to explore her much better, and perhaps substitute the romance angle with other intriguing elements.

The Wednesday season 2 trailer has already depicted how this season will turn up the intensity a few notches. Perhaps Xavier not being around will play a bigger part in elevating the series beyond what was initially planned.

The upcoming season of the show features Jenna Ortega in the title role as Wednesday Addams. Joining her are Emma Myers as Enid, Joy Sunday as Bianca, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene, Hunter Doohan as Tyler, and many others returning to their roles.

Wednesday Season 2, Part 1, will premiere on August 6 on Netflix.
