LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The entertainment world is reeling from the tragic death of rising star Chance Perdomo, whose untimely death at the age of 27 has sent shockwaves through Hollywood.

Perdomo, best known for his roles in Netflix's 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' and Amazon Prime's 'Gen V', a spin-off series from the acclaimed 'The Boys' universe, died in a motorcycle accident in Upstate New York on Saturday, March 30, 2024.

According to reports, Perdomo had recently acquired a new motorcycle and had taken to social media to share his excitement about the purchase, tragically just days before the fatal accident. While the exact circumstances surrounding the crash remain unclear, it has been confirmed that no other parties were involved.

Perdomo's death has dealt a devastating blow to the production of 'Gen V'. The actor was set to reprise his role as Andre Anderson, the son of the famed hero Polaris, in the upcoming second season.

His character, possessing magnetism-based powers, was poised to play a pivotal role in the show's narrative, which revolved around a group of young superheroes framed for chaos and death at Godolkin University.

In the wake of the heartbreaking news, the 'Gen V' team has made the difficult decision to indefinitely delay the production of Season 2, which was scheduled to commence filming on April 8.

The decision was made not only to allow the cast and crew time to grieve but also to reassess the show's direction as Perdomo's absence will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the storyline.
