The producers of Prime Video’s say they have decided not to recast | |
the role played by Chance Perdomo in the upcoming second season. | |
Instead, they said in a new statement, the new season will “honor | |
Chance and his legacy.” | |
“As we continue to navigate the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, | |
everyone at Gen V is determined to find the best way to pay respect to | |
his memory,” a posted to the show’s official X page on Monday read. | |
According to the statement, the decision not to recast the actor’s | |
role was made “because no one can replace Chance.” | |
“Instead, we have been taking the time and space to recraft our | |
Season 2 storylines as we begin production in May,” the statement | |
added. | |
The actor died in March at age 27 following a motorcycle accident, | |
according to a statement that his representative sent to CNN at the | |
time. | |
Perdomo appeared in the first season of “Gen V” as Andre Anderson, | |
also known as Polarity – a burgeoning “Supe” who possesses | |
superhuman strength. | |
“Gen V” is a spinoff of Prime Video’s anti-superhero series and | |
debuted in 2023. It follows a group of college-aged superheroes as they | |
compete for a chance to join the elite international superhero team | |
called The Seven, an entity introduced in Season 1 of “The Boys.” | |
After Perdomo’s death, producers of the series wrote in a posted to X | |
that the young actor was “always charming and smiling, an | |
enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and | |
more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person.” | |
In 2019, Perdomo scored a best leading actor BAFTA TV Award nomination | |
for the TV movie “Killed by My Debt,” and is also known for playing | |
Ambrose Spellman in all four seasons of Netflix’s “Chilling | |
Adventures of Sabrina,” which starred in the title role. | |
