One of the lead stars from Netflix’s famous series ‘Wednesday’ has been dropped from the series.
The makers recently announced that the filming for season 2 has already started and along with that, the makers published list of cast members for the forthcoming second season.
In the cast, the leading actress Jenna Ortega is set to return as Wednesday Addams. However, Percy Hynes White, who played psychic student Xavier Thorpe in season one, was absent from the list.
A development that follows allegations of sexual misconduct the actor faced, and denied last year could be the reason behind his exit.
Apart from him, actors such as Jamie McShane and Naomi J Ogawa will also not be returning as Donovan Galpin and Yoko Tanaka but, unlike their characters, Hynes White was very much established as a major player going into season two.
Joining Ortega in season two of Wednesday will be Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman, who play Morticia and Gomez Addams.
New cast members include Scoop actor Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.
Pugsley star Isaac Ordonez and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo will also return as will Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, and Fred Armisen, who plays Uncle Fester.
Joining the cast will be Steve Buscemi and Thandiwe Newton.
While talking about the potential release date, Wednesday season 2 wouldn’t come out till late this year. But early 2025 is more likely.
