Gen V Season 2 Pays Tribute to Chance Perdomo – and Addresses His Death in a Devastating but Meaningful Way

The second season of Gen V premiered on September 17, 2025, on Prime Video, paying tribute to Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson.
Chance Perdomo died in a March 2024 motorcycle accident, leading the showrunners to write Andre's off-screen death into the storyline without recasting him.
The season reveals that Andre died off-screen while trying to break out of the supe detention center Elmira, where he overexerted his abilities despite warnings, leading to a fatal stroke.
The premiere opens with a title card reading "For Chance," as cast members describe filming season two as a mix of grief and honoring Perdomo’s legacy.
The show’s narrative and cast reactions indicate that Andre’s loss profoundly affected them and shaped the season’s themes of loss and remembrance.
