Gen V actor Chance Perdomo tragically passed away earlier this year in a motorcycle accident, just before Season 2 was due to begin filming. The producers said they would take their time to “recraft” the Season 2 storylines in the wake of Perdomo’s death, subsequently saying they would not recast Perdomo’s character, Andre Anderson. Now we know how Gen V will handle Perdomo’s death in Season 2.
Eric Kripke, who created The Boys and also works on Gen V, told TV Line (via Collider) that instead of replacing Perdomo with someone new playing Andre Anderson, his character will die on the show.
“First, it’s just so unbelievably tragic, and my heart goes out to his family,” Kripke said. “We’re not trying to replace him because we can’t. We’re playing the character’s death on the show. So it’s very heavy and it’s really emotionally difficult for the cast. And we’re just trying to honor Chance as best we can.”
