Hunter Doohan Embraces Complex Character Evolution in Wednesday Season 2 While Career Soars

A Rising Star’s Journey

Hunter Doohan has established himself as a formidable presence in television, gaining recognition through his roles in Your Honor (2020), Wednesday (2022-present), and most recently, as the serial killer Muse in Daredevil: Born Again (2025).

Breaking New Ground in Wednesday Season 2

While audiences first met Doohan as the seemingly lovable barista Tyler Galpin in Wednesday, his character’s reveal as the Hyde, a shape-shifting killer, marked a dramatic turn. In the first half of the second season, his portrayal has become even more complex and unhinged, with significant scenes taking place in a psychiatric hospital.

The latest season has unveiled major plot developments, including the revelation that Tyler’s mother Françoise Galpin, previously thought to be dead for 15 years, has been discovered alive in the basement of Willow Hill, where mysterious LOIS experiments were taking place.

Career Momentum

Doohan’s career continues to flourish with new projects on the horizon, including roles in the upcoming Evil Dead Burn, the next installment of the renowned horror franchise, and an indie film titled The Wilderness.

Personal Growth and Authenticity

As an out gay actor, Doohan has expressed gratitude for living in a time where his sexuality doesn’t limit his career opportunities, noting, ‘I feel really lucky that I’ve gotten to play a wide range of roles’.

Looking Ahead

Regarding the future of Wednesday, Doohan has hinted at more developments to come, stating there’s ‘so much more to come about the big mysteries of the season’ and that Tyler has a ‘crazy arc’ ahead. The story has established that while Tyler believes he’s freeing himself from his master, the Hyde cannot survive without one, leaving his character’s fate uncertain.
