It seems like 2025 is the year of Billie Piper. The British pop star turned nerd icon captured many fans’ hearts as Rose Tyler, the first companion of the modern era of Doctor Who who has returned in different forms over the years. Most recently, her face popped up after the Fifteenth Doctor’s regeneration. We don’t know what’s going on with Billie Piper and how she will play into the next season of Doctor Who. But, for now, we can delight in the fact that she’s hanging out at Nevermore Academy. Who is Billie Piper playing in Wednesday season two? We get the answer to that question and more.
In Wednesday season two’s first episode, our favorite Addams family member is blowing off some steam and aggressively playing her cello in a darkened music room. Billie Piper’s character Isadora Capri walks in and introduces herself as the new head of music. Wednesday recognizes Capri as a famous child prodigy who released her first classical album at ten years old. Capri says she came to Nevermore after hearing about the events of last season. She then begins to dig in on Wednesday a bit, saying her performance was only interesting because it is driven by pain. She tells her to feel the notes and stop trying to control music. Of course, Wednesday rejects this helpful piece of advice.
We do see Billie Piper’s character Isadora Capri a handful of times in the first four episodes. And, to our delight, we get to hear her actually sing. Many people don’t know (or have forgotten) that she was the UK’s version of Britney Spears before hopping in the TARDIS. She sings the school spirit song at the Founder’s Pyre and another tune later on in episode 3 at Camp Jericho.
Capri doesn’t play a direct role in Wednesday’s shenanigans like Christina Ricci’s Thornhill, which is kind of a shame. Wednesday does take a ride in her trunk to sneak into the asylum in episode 4, but she’s just trying to teach music and mind her business.
She’s an interesting and kinda weird lady who would be a fun villain. But part two of season two reveals that Isadora Capri is not quite a villain. After some digging, Wednesday discovers that Capri was once in love with a Hyde who ended up dying, but not before his master ordered him to try to kill her. This is quite the interesting pair considering that Capri is a werewolf. We even learn that her father was a Hyde, which means she might have some aspects of that ability.
She warns Wednesday that a male Hyde who kills his master like Tyler did will go insane and die. At the end of the season, it seems that Capri has a larger connection to Hyde after offering Tyler a place among a group who live independently of masters. So, this means we will probably see Capri in Wednesday season three and explore this secret pack of Hydes.
Capri is full of answers for everyone, apparently. She informs Enid that she is an Alpha werewolf and advises her to learn to better control her changes. And, despite Capri’s warnings about transforming under a full moon, she does it and seems to be stuck as a werewolf for now. It still remains to be seen what other secrets Capri is harboring and if she’s even a good person on not. We are already ready for next season.
