Why is Percy Hynes White not in Wednesday season 2?
- Percy Hynes White, who portrayed Xavier Thorpe in Netflix's hit series Wednesday, has been dropped from the show's second season, which premiered on August 6.
- His removal follows allegations of sexual misconduct made against him in January 2023, which the Canadian actor has denied, calling them a 'campaign of misinformation'.
- Netflix has not officially confirmed the specific reason for White's departure from the Addams Family spin-off.
- Within the show's narrative, White's character, Xavier, is explained to have left Nevermore Academy and been sent to Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland.
- White stated in June 2023 that the accusations were false and led to his family being doxxed and friends receiving death threats.
