The producers of Gen Vspin-off series from The Boys, revealed that they will not replace actor Chance Perdomo, who died in a traffic accident at the end of March, in the second season of the show. In a note published on social media, they highlighted that they will take advantage of the period before filming begins to reformulate the script to address the issue.

“As we continue to deal with the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, everyone in Gen V are determined to find the best way to pay respect to his memory,” it reads. “We will not recast the role, because no one can replace Chance.”

The big question, however, is how this will happen. Although it is not clear in the official statement, the impression given by the lines is that there will be some change in the text that will justify the disappearance of the character Andre Anderson, played by Perdomo in the first season.
With recordings scheduled to begin this May, there is still plenty of time to make this adjustment. From what is suggested, the character’s farewell should happen off-screen — more or less as it happened with Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverin which the death of Chadwick Boseman’s hero happened before the film even began.

Without going into details of how this should be done, the producers just emphasized that they want to honor their friend. “Let’s honor Chance and his legacy this season.”
In the series, the actor played one of the central characters in the plot. Ander Anderson was one of the young people with powers acquired after receiving Compound V. With this, he develops powers of magnetism and super strength and becomes one of the students at Godolkin University.
Chance Perdomo died on March 29 in a motorcycle accident at the age of 27. In addition to Gen Vhe also participated in the series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
The second season of Gen V is scheduled to debut in 2025.
