Anticipating Season 3, I'm optimistic about the narrative thread for Tyler, following the conclusion on Wednesday
In the enigmatic world of the hit Netflix series, 'Wednesday', the character of Tyler Galpin (played by Hunter Doohan) has been a captivating presence since his introduction in the first season. His journey, marked by loss, manipulation, and transformation, is set to continue in the upcoming third season.
Initially introduced as a coffee shop barista in the quaint town of Jericho, Tyler's life took a dark turn in Season 2, revealing him to be the town's killer Hyde. This revelation, however, is just one layer of Tyler's complex character.
Tyler's past is marred by the loss of both parents and the subsequent unsupportive circumstances that made him an outcast. His character has been manipulated to further the goals of other characters in both seasons, adding to his tragic narrative.
The show's DNA has been setting up themes about the blurred lines between "good" and "bad" monsters, as seen in Agnes' storyline. This theme is poised to play a significant role in Tyler's future development, with the potential for him to evolve into an anti-hero or hero type, much like Wednesday Addams herself.
The ending of Season 2 suggests a possible redemption arc for Tyler. In the finale, we see Wednesday forming an unlikely friendship with Tyler, and Billie Piper's character, Isadora Capri, a music teacher at Nevermore Academy, inviting Tyler to a support group for Hydes and similar beings. Isadora, who has a soft spot for Hydes, may help Tyler cope with the loss of his mother and uncle. However, there may be trust issues regarding her intentions towards Tyler.
Billie Piper's character will be a new addition to the series in Season 3, with Tyler's future potentially involving him leaving Jericho and joining a pack of Hydes. The next season may also take place outside of Nevermore Academy, offering a fresh backdrop for Tyler's continued character development.
The story of Tyler Galpin in 'Wednesday' is three-dimensional and feels palpable in the fantastical world of the series. His character has the opportunity to turn around his narrative in Season 3, making him a more good-natured character. With several questions about Tyler's future, including the Enid cliffhanger, fans are eagerly waiting to see how his story unfolds in the upcoming season.
Currently, Season 2 of 'Wednesday' is streaming on Netflix, providing viewers with a chance to catch up on Tyler's story before the anticipated release of Season 3.
