Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday is one of the biggest shows on Netflix, and statistics will prove it right. The show is the most watched on Netflix, with a record-breaking 250 Million views. After waiting for a while, Jenna Ortega dropped the best announcement that Wednesday, Season 2, started production, and she also revealed the cast along with it. And fans now confirm that Percy Hynes White has been dropped from the show amidst serious allegations reported last year. Not only that, but there have been more cast additions. Here’s everything we know about Wednesday Season 2.
Percy Hynes White portrayed psychic Nevermore student Xavier Thorpe, one of the show’s two main male leads and a romantic interest for Wednesday (Ortega), who saved his life in the season finale. Rumors began to circulate last fall that White’s character would be written off, but sources told Deadline that his option, like the rest of the main cast, had been extended.
Last June, White stated in response to anonymous January 2023 social media posts accusing him of sexual assault, which have since been deleted. White categorically denied any allegations in his message to fans, calling them “misinformation.” But the new announcement confirms that he will not be back. But there have been new additions!
Season 2’s cast includes returning series regulars Ortega as Wednesday, Emma Myers (Enid), Joy Sunday (Bianca), Doohan (Tyler), Victor Dorobantu (Thing), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene), and Georgie Farmer (Ajax); new series regulars Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Billie Piper as Capri, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor, who are joining the show; as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams), Isaac Ordonez.
Guest stars in Season 2 include Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo. Fred Armisen reprises his role as Uncle Fester, and Christopher Lloyd, who played Fester in the films, appears as a guest star.
