From Xavier’s uncertain off-screen fate to the identity of Tyler’s new Hyde master, there are a lot of bold predictions about what could happen in Wednesday season 2. Wednesday season 2 is set to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2025. Jenna Ortega will reprise the titular role as she sinks her teeth into another supernatural mystery on the grounds of Nevermore Academy.
There are a lot of intriguing questions that Wednesday season 2 needs to answer. What will the show do with Xavier after Percy Hynes White was fired from the cast? Which other Addams Family characters will make their debut on the Netflix series? There are some fun predictions for how the show will resolve the lingering mysteries.
5.Xavier Will Meet A Gruesome Fate Off-Screen
The Actor Was Accused Of Sexual Assault
After Percy Hynes White was accused of sexual assault, Netflix made the decision to fire him from the cast of Wednesday ahead of season 2. The streamer wanted to distance itself from the controversial actor and avoid letting the allegations against him sully one of their biggest hit shows. So, Wednesday season 2 will have to come up with a way to write out his character, Xavier Thorpe.
Tim Burton faced a similar situation when he made Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. He couldn’t bring back disgraced actor Jeffrey Jones, so he had to find a way to work around Charles Deetz. Burton solved this problem by giving Charles a horrific death, realized in stop-motion animation, where he was eaten by a shark. The director might deal with Hynes’ Wednesday season 2 firing by giving Xavier a similarly gruesome off-screen demise.
4.Principal Weems Isn’t Really Dead
There Are A Couple Of Ways To Bring The Character Back
At the end of Wednesday season 1, Principal Weems was sadly killed off. Wednesday teamed up with Weems, disguised as Tyler, to force Marilyn Thornhill to confess that she was Laurel Gates and that she manipulated Tyler to commit all the killings as part of her plot to resurrect Joseph Crackstone. Unfortunately, the plan backfired when Thornhill seized the opportunity to kill Weems.
After waiting over two years for Wednesday season 2, viewers could suffer if Netflix makes one mistake that has, unfortunately, become a trend.
Since this is a supernatural show and Weems became a fan-favorite character, some viewers are holding out hope that Weems will somehow return in Wednesday season 2. There are a couple of ways to bring the character back. She could return as a ghost or the series could reveal that she didn’t die in the season 1 finale after all.
He Was Initially Created For The 1960s TV Show
While Wednesday naturally put Wednesday front and center, it featured memorable portrayals of a bunch of other iconic characters from the Addams Family franchise. Catherine Zeta-Jones gave a great turn as Wednesday’s mother Morticia, Luis Guzmán was hilarious as always as her father Gomez, and Isaac Ordonez made for a lovable Pugsley. Romanian magician Victor Dorobantu brought Thing to life with a blue chroma-key bodysuit and Fred Armisen gave a brief but unforgettable performance as Uncle Fester.
Season 2 is expected to bring more familiar Addams Family characters into the ever-expanding ensemble.
Season 2 is expected to bring more familiar Addams Family characters into the ever-expanding ensemble. It would be awesome to see Cousin Itt in the next season of Wednesday. Itt was initially created for the 1960s TV show, and he’s a wonderfully absurd creation: a big ball of hair with a bowler hat. Maybe Itt could join the faculty at Nevermore Academy, or become a sort of sidekick to Wednesday like Fester was in season 1.
2.Enid Is Wednesday’s Stalker
She Is One Of The Only Characters Who Gained Wednesday’s Trust In Season 1
It’s already been confirmed that the big mystery in Wednesday season 2 will be the identity of a stalker. Wednesday will be getting followed around the campus of Nevermore Academy by a nefarious stalker and she’ll have to figure out who it is before they strike. Naturally, since this was announced, there’s been a lot of speculation about who the stalker might be.
IMDB’s Highest Rated Episodes of Wednesday | ||
Episode Number | Title | IMDB Score |
S1.E8 | A Murder of Woes | 8.3 |
S1.E4 | Woe What a Night | 8.3 |
S1.E7 | If You Don’t Woe Me by Now | 8.3 |
One of the boldest predictions for Wednesday season 2’s stalker mystery is that it’ll be Enid. Enid is one of the only characters to earn Wednesday’s trust in season 1. But if anything, she was a little too obsessed with Wednesday. She was desperate to be her friend, which could either be a sign that she’s overly friendly or a sign that she’s dangerously unhinged. Enid is the last person Wednesday would expect to be her mysterious stalker, so it would certainly be an unexpected twist.
She Would Use His Monstrous Abilities For Much Nobler Purposes
The overarching mystery in Wednesday season 1 was the identity of the Hyde monster terrorizing the students of Nevermore Academy. A Hyde was attacking people all over the campus and the neighboring town, and Wednesday was determined to figure out who it was. It turned out that the Hyde was Tyler, but he wasn’t the one who was responsible for the attacks; he was being controlled by his so-called Hyde master, Marilyn Thornhill, the true villain of the season.
Between less romance and more horror elements, Wednesday season 2 is shaping up to be even better than the Netflix sensation’s first season.
One of the leading fan theories about Wednesday season 2 is that Wednesday will become Tyler’s new Hyde master. She would use his monstrous abilities for much nobler purposes, which could pave the way for Tyler’s redemption arc. If Wednesday season 2 is planning to bring back Tyler, then this could be a fun way to go about it.
