Hollywood just served up its juiciest shock of the year — and it’s all happening in the shadowy, gothic halls of Wednesday.
Two years after a firestorm of allegations involving racism and sexual harassment, Netflix has made the nuclear decision: Percy Hynes is OUT of Season 2.
From Fan Favorite to Ghosted Overnight
Percy Hynes, once adored by millions for his role as Xavier Thorpe, has been erased from the Wednesday universe faster than you can snap twice.
In Episode 1 of the new season, the script takes a sharp turn:
“Xavier transferred schools and will no longer attend Nevermore,”
one character casually mentions — a single line that drops like a bomb for longtime fans.
That’s it. No grand farewell. No emotional send-off. Just gone.
The Scandal That Wouldn’t Die
Back in 2023, the internet was ablaze after multiple accusations surfaced — painting Percy as toxic and predatory.
Though the actor denied wrongdoing, the social media mob had already made its verdict.
Netflix remained silent at the time… until now.
By writing him out completely, the streaming giant has sent a loud, unmissable message: the drama is over — for him, at least.
Fans Are FURIOUS — And Split Down the Middle
Within hours of the premiere, hashtags like #JusticeForPercy and #GoodRiddance began trending side by side.
One furious viewer tweeted:
“This is CANCEL CULTURE at its finest. Netflix just erased a talented actor based on internet rumors.”
Another shot back:
“Good. Predators don’t belong in teen shows.”
What This Means for Wednesday’s Future
Industry insiders whisper that Netflix feared keeping Percy would overshadow the entire season with off-screen drama.
By cutting him early and replacing his plotlines, they’re betting big that the Addams Family spin-off can shake off controversy and keep its record-breaking momentum.
The Final Shock
For a show built on darkness and mystery, this real-life twist might be the most chilling of all.
Because in the world of Hollywood scandals, a disappearing act is rarely just fiction.
