Nobody saw this coming. Just when fans thought Tyler Galpin’s dark chapter had ended in Season 1, a chilling new theory has exploded online: Tyler may return in Season 2 Part 2 — not as himself, but under a brand-new identity. And if the leaks are to be believed, he could be masquerading as a teacher at Nevermore Academy, secretly pulling the strings behind Wednesday’s every move.
The Twist That Breaks the Fandom
According to a viral Reddit thread, Tyler won’t simply come back as the Hyde we know. Instead, he’s rumored to re-emerge in Part 2 as a mysterious professor, hiding in plain sight, while manipulating Wednesday into a dangerous game of trust and betrayal.
“This would be the most insane twist Netflix has ever pulled,” one fan posted on X. “Imagine Wednesday confiding in her ‘teacher,’ only to realize it’s Tyler all along.”
The idea has spread like wildfire, with TikTok edits and conspiracy breakdowns racking up millions of views. Fans are calling it both brilliant and traumatizing.
Netflix’s Silence Adds Fuel to the Fire
So far, Netflix has remained tight-lipped about the rumors — but insiders claim multiple reshoots for Part 2 were ordered earlier this year, sparking speculation that a major character’s return was added late in production. Could Tyler’s shocking transformation be the reason behind the unexplained delays?
One anonymous crew member reportedly told a tabloid: “There’s a reason they’ve kept Tyler’s actor on-set, even though his character was supposedly finished. They’re planning something massive.”
Manipulator or Redemption Arc?
While many fans believe Tyler’s teacher persona will be a villainous cover, others speculate the writers might use it as a twisted redemption arc. “He could be guiding Wednesday while hiding his true self — creating tension until the ultimate reveal,” one theory suggests.
Either way, the theory positions Tyler as the ultimate puppet master, potentially outsmarting both Nevermore staff and Wednesday herself.
The Internet Can’t Handle the Possibility
The idea of Tyler hiding in plain sight has left the fandom torn apart. Some are thrilled at the potential for high drama, while others are horrified at the idea of Wednesday being psychologically manipulated by her former tormentor.
“Season 2 Part 2 might break us,” a fan tweeted. “If Tyler is really back, disguised as a teacher, this show will go down in TV history.”
