Netflix’s hit series Wednesday has returned for its highly anticipated second season — but fans quickly noticed a major change. Xavier Thorpe, played by Percy Hynes White in Season 1, is nowhere to be seen. Now, the show has officially explained his sudden disappearance.

The On-Screen Explanation

In the Season 2 premiere, Principal Barry Dort reveals that Xavier has transferred to Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland. According to the story, his father arranged the move after Xavier was falsely accused of being the Hyde killer in Season 1. The accusations left a shadow over him, and the transfer was presented as a fresh start.

Before leaving, Xavier delivers a bittersweet farewell to Wednesday — a letter and a haunting portrait of a one-eyed crow, which may hold clues to the season’s unfolding mystery.

The Off-Screen Context

Outside the world of the show, Percy Hynes White’s departure comes after unverified sexual misconduct allegations surfaced online in January 2023. The actor has denied the claims, calling them “misinformation,” but production chose to move forward without him. Co-showrunner Alfred Gough confirmed: “We have seen the last of him,” stressing that the choice was also tied to creative direction.

Shifting the Focus of the Series

With Xavier gone, Season 2 pivots away from romantic subplots and leans harder into horror, mystery, and new character dynamics. The absence also frees up screen time for other students and fresh storylines, keeping the gothic charm of Wednesday alive while exploring darker territory.

Fans remain divided — some express disappointment over losing the Xavier-Wednesday chemistry, while others are intrigued by the new direction. One thing is clear: his farewell gift to Wednesday may be more important than it seems, and viewers will be watching closely to see if it ties into the season’s central mystery.
