The production of the season 2 of Gen Vthe excellent spin off of The Boys, should begin shortly. But before that, the showrunners and the rest of the team behind the Amazon series available on Prime Video wanted to make a clarification following the death of the actor Chance Perdomo.
the spin-off of the boys on prime video, a success
It’s now been five years since the series The Boys came to bring a welcome breath of fresh air to the superheroic genre. The success is such that a spin-off called Gen V was born. Its first season has been available on Prime Video since the end of 2023, and fans have once again been won over.
But a little over a month ago, a lot of uncertainty arose over the future of the series, following the death of Chance Perdomo. The young British-American actor sadly died in a tragic motorcycle accident on March 29, 2024, at just 27 years old. He played Andre Anderson in the first season of Gen V, and we therefore wondered what would become of his character. We now know the answer, following the short press release published on the X account of the successful series.

It’s on the official X account of Gen V that the team behind the Prime Video series spoke in a short press release. In a few lines, the showrunners share their intention to pay homage to Chance Perdomo, while continuing as best they can the intrigues started during season 1 of the spin-off of The Boys. Here is what we can read there: “We are not going to recast the role, as no one can replace Chance. Instead, we have taken the time and space to rethink our Season 2 storylines as we begin production in May. We will return tribute to Chance and his legacy in this season”.
On social media, most Gen V fans seem to approve of this decision, believing that Chance Perdomo is irreplaceable and that it would have been strange to try to take his place. Tell us if you agree with this decision in the comments!
