Chance Perdomo may have played Ambrose Spellman in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but he was one of the central cast members of hit spinoff of The Boys, Gen V. Tragedy struck this weekend though, when it was reported that Perdomo had died via a motorcycle accident.
We don’t have any specifics of what happened during the accident, but it was said that nobody else was involved. Amazon Prime Video and the producers of Gen V released an official statement following the passing of Perdomo:

Shooting for the second season of Gen V was said to have been planned for April, but after Perdomo’s passing, it looks like the shoot has been delayed indefinitely. We don’t know how they’re going to deal with Perdomo’s character moving forward, but his current and previous collaborators have all been posting up tributes to him online:
Heartbroken at the loss of such an amazing soul. I just had Chance on the podcast which hasn’t aired yet and we had such a lovely time. He was so sweet and articulate. Too freaking soon man. I’m utterly shocked by his passing. I just got a little emotional RIP #chanceperdomo pic.twitter.com/wDE1KMMb77

This isn’t believable to me. I saw Chance just before Christmas and, as usual, he had a beaming smile on his face, and was so happy with the work he was doing on Gen V. Playing his aunt on sabrina was like I had a brother on set with me. He was so cheeky and joined me in all the… pic.twitter.com/AhchqcfhJp

This hurts. A lot. What a young talented actor, and a great friend – gone way too soon. Was a pleasure to work with him in GenV. RIP Chance ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/gfiee3cMT3

The last we saw of Perdomo’s character Andre, he was one of the heroes along with Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan (Derek Luh/London Thor), and Emma (Lizze Broadway) who have been confined in some kind of power-neutralizing room.
We don’t know if it’s Vought or the government who has gotten to them, but we shouldn’t expect them to stay in confinement for too long. While the real heroes have been nerfed though, Vought has already started touting Cate (Maddie Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann) as the new Guardians of Godolkin.
The arc of Andre could go several ways, but no doubt the loss of Perdomo is a huge blow to the series and the fandom.
No release date has been announced for the next season of Gen V.
