Chance Perdomo will not be recast for Season 2 of Gen V

Following the tragic death of Chance Perdomo in March, there was some question about what would happen in Season 2 of Gen V, as the actor was a major part of the series and the first season. Now we know and fans can rest assured that the series plans to honor Perdomo as well as his legacy moving forward.

In a May 5 tweet shared on X (formerly Twitter), the producers for Gen V revealed that they would not be recasting Chance Perdomo’s character, Andre Anderson. It seems that production took the time following the actor’s death to not only grieve his loss, but also figure out the best way to honor his memory.

The post states that, “we won’t be recasting the role, 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. We will honor Chance and his legacy this season.”

Obviously, we will have to wait to see how the producers honor his legacy and memory in season two. However, it is possible that they have set themselves up to potentially explore the characters passing, based on how the first season ended.

The actor’s loss is a terrible tragedy and one that fans are still struggling with. And we appreciate the fact that the producers decided not to replace him in the series. While this may change the way they approach the story they were planning to tell, it is also a sign of respect for the actor, the character, and even the fans, that they decided to change direction instead.

It seems clear that it is still a struggle for the Gen V family to accept this loss, and we appreciate that they are being open with their fans about their plans moving forward.

We want to know what you think of this news. Are you surprised they have chosen not to recast Chance Perdomo’s Gen V character? How do you want to see them addressing this loss in the series?
