Wednesday Season 2 begins with a fresh wave of darkness, mystery, and twisted charm, just the way Wednesday Addams likes it. Nevermore Academy is still full of secrets, strange visions, and people she’d rather avoid.
But trouble always finds her, even when she’s not looking for it. And this time, it feels more personal. The new season brings deeper secrets, unexpected betrayals, and some faces that quietly disappear.
Xavier Thorpe doesn’t return to Nevermore in Wednesday Season 2, and the show explains his absence early on. It’s revealed that he transferred to Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland, and Wednesday later receives a painting and a letter from him, hinting that he still has psychic visions connected to her.
While his presence is felt briefly, he’s no longer part of the main story. The real reason behind his exit is tied to the actor Percy Hynes White not being brought back this season.
Keep reading to dive into this new torturous season without one of its main cast members.
Xavier Thorpe has left Nevermore Academy in Wednesday Season 2: Details explored
In Season 1, Xavier Thorpe wasn’t just another student. He was a gifted psychic artist, a loyal friend, and for a while, a possible love interest. So, when Wednesday Season 2 dropped and Xavier was nowhere to be seen, fans immediately had questions.
Where did he go? Why wasn’t he part of the new mysteries unfolding at Nevermore? Well, the answer is that Xavier Thorpe is no longer a student at the Nevermore Academy, the institution where outcasts are treated as normal beings.
In Wednesday Season 2 Part 1, it’s revealed that Xavier has officially left the school. Wednesday learns about this change from Nevermore’s new principal, Barry Dort, who tells her that Xavier’s father, Vincent Thorpe, made the decision to pull him out.
The reason behind this choice ties back to what happened in season 1. Xavier was wrongly accused of being the Hyde killer, which led to his temporary arrest and serious damage to his reputation. Although it was eventually revealed that Tyler was the real monster, the experience clearly left its mark.
Xavier’s father, likely trying to protect his son from further scrutiny and trauma, arranged for him to transfer to Reichenbach Academy, a prestigious school for Outcasts located in Switzerland. Interestingly, Reichenbach Academy has a connection to the Addams family.
Gomez Addams, Wednesday’s father, mentions that he studied there when he was younger, suggesting that the school has a strong reputation and deep ties to the Outcast community. Xavier’s move to Reichenbach means he won’t be involved in Nevermore's life moving forward.
However, he did send a "goodbye gift" to Wednesday; after all, he liked her in Season 1. Xavier sent a handmade picture and letter, which read:
"Consider this my goodbye gift. The image suddenly flashed in my head. Don't ask me how I know or what it means, but it's connected to you, I'm sure."
Since the students spend the next three years in Vermont, the transfer makes it clear that Xavier’s storyline at the academy has come to a natural end, at least for now.
Why did actor Percy Hynes White leave Wednesday Season 2?
Now that White is absent from Wednesday Season 2, fans might wonder about the reason for his exit from the hit TV series. Netflix hasn’t released an official reason for his exit, but it came after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced online in early 2023.
Though the accusations were anonymous and never led to formal complaints, they caused a stir on social media. Hynes White denied them in a now-deleted Instagram story, calling them false and misleading.
In May 2024, he confirmed he wouldn’t be returning. Jenna Ortega acknowledged his absence, calling it a strange shift, but said new characters would help the story move forward.
Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 is now available to stream on Netflix.
