What Happened to Wednesday’s Xavier? His Fate Revealed After Percy Hynes White Accused of Misconduct
Nevermore Academy’s student body is a little different this semester.
More than two years after Wednesday‘s Percy Hynes White was accused of sexual misconduct, his character Xavier Thorpe was cut from the Netflix show’s second season.
As for how his absence was explained in the Jenna Ortega-led series? The new principal, Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi), revealed in episode onewhich dropped August 6, that “he’s heading to Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland.”
After all, Xavier’s dad Vincent Thorpe wasn’t too pleased thatlast season, his son was mistaken as the killer Hyde, who turned out to be Wednesday’s other love interest, Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan). His move to a new school means a more prominent role for Wednesday’s mom Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) as the chairperson of Nevermore’s gala fundraising committee.
“Vincent Thorpe chaired the last three years,” Principal Dort—who took over for Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) after her death last season—explained. “But after Xavier was falsely accused of murder, he pulled his son and his endowment from Nevermore.”
