Percy White Hynes, who played Xavier Thrope in season one of the Wednesday, was already confirmed that he won’t be returning to the series.
With the releases of season two part one, his reason on not being part of the show has also been revealed.
In the first episode of the new season, Steve Buscemi’s Principal Barry Dort asks Wednesday's mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to chair the Gala Fundraising Committee. Xavier's father Vincent Thorpe had previously held the position for three years.
Dort revealed that Thorpe pulled his endowment and his son from Nevermore after Xavier was falsely accused of murder last season when Wednesday first thought he might be (Hunter Doohan’s) Tyler’s Hyde.
Later on in the first episode, Enid (Emma Myers) passes on a letter from Xavier to Wednesday in their dorm.
Xavier, who had given Wednesday a phone at the end of the previous semester, wrote that he had tried to text her about a vision he had involving a creepy crow with the cloudy eye surrounded by raw red skin.
He left behind a painting of the bird saying he didn’t know what it meant but that he was sure it had to do with Wednesday.
In the painting, a crow perches on a shadowed gravestone, holding a white flower, a bad omen revealed in episode one. Wednesday later has a vision showing the same crow on Enid’s gravestone, dropping the flower, predicting her death.
Showrunner and creator Alfred Gough confirmed to TVLine that viewers have indeed seen the last of Xavier.
Wednesday season two part two is slated for release on September 3.
