Netflix's Wednesday Drops Percy Hynes White Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Percy Hynes White, who portrayed Xavier Thorpe in Netflix's hit series 'Wednesday,' did not return for the second season following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against him, which he has denied. The show addressed Xavier's absence by revealing in the Season 2 premiere that his character was transferred to a school in Switzerland after being falsely accused of murder, effectively closing his storyline. White's departure was confirmed by showrunner Alfred Gough, who stated that the character would not return. Despite Xavier's exit, Season 2 continues with a larger ensemble cast and a more complex mystery, with new characters introduced alongside returning ones. White expressed gratitude for his time on the show and supported the new season despite not being part of it. The departure marks a significant shift from the first season, where Xavier was a key figure and Wednesday's love interest.
