A main character from Wednesday is not present in the season 2 cast photo, possibly due to being removed from the show.

Wednesday is finally here, and there are some exciting changes in the star-studded cast! Fans have noticed that Percy Hynes-White is missing from the official cast photo, leading to rumors that he has been written out of the series. The first look at the cast for season two was released today by Netflix, announcing the addition of Billie Piper and Steve Buscemi, as well as the return of Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, Luis Guzmán, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

In addition, the second season will feature guest appearances from the talented Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Haley Joel Osment, and Christopher Lloyd, who previously played Uncle Fester in two Addams Family films. However, fans were quick to notice the absence of Hynes-White, who played Xavier Thorpe in the first season, and he has not been mentioned in any of the promotional material.

Last year, allegations of sexual misconduct were made against the 22-year-old actor on social media, which he strongly denied at the time. Many called for him to be removed from the hit show, but Netflix has not publicly addressed his future on the series. With the recent cast announcement seemingly confirming his departure, fans are wondering what will happen to his character and if his absence will be addressed in the upcoming episodes.

Hynes-White previously addressed the accusations in a statement on his Instagram story, which is still visible as a highlight on his profile. In it, he clarified that the rumors were false and expressed gratitude to those who stood by him. He also asked for the harassment of his family, friends, and coworkers to stop.

Although Hynes-White has not spoken publicly about his character's axing, his Instagram page still features promotional pictures from the first season. Wednesday first premiered on Netflix in November 2022, with Ortega in the titular role, and was an instant hit. A release date for the highly-anticipated second season has yet to be announced.

The creators and showrunners of the series, Al Gough and Miles Millar, have teased what fans can expect from the upcoming episodes. In an interview with Variety, they said, "We are thrilled that the entire Addams family will be enrolling in Nevermore Academy this season along with a dream cast of icons and new faces."

The Agency has reached out to representatives for Netflix and Hynes-White for comment. Wednesday is currently available to stream on Netflix.
