The entertainment world is mourning the sudden death of actor Chance Perdomo, who tragically passed away at the age of 27 following a motorcycle accident. Perdomo, best known for his roles in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Amazon’s Gen V, and the After film series, died in late March 2024 while traveling alone. His representatives confirmed the news, adding that no other individuals were involved in the crash.
Rising Star with International Roots
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Southampton, England, Chance Perdomo held dual U.S. and U.K. citizenship. He pursued acting from a young age and eventually trained at the National Youth Theatre in London. His breakthrough came with the role of Ambrose Spellman in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018–2020), a performance that earned him critical praise and a BAFTA Television Award nomination.
His career quickly gained momentum. In 2021, Perdomo was cast as Landon Gibson in After We Fell, stepping into the role previously played by another actor. He reprised the character in After Ever Happy (2022) and After Everything (2023), securing his place in the global teen-romance phenomenon based on Anna Todd’s bestselling novels.
Most recently, Perdomo starred as Andre Anderson in Gen V, the high-profile spinoff of Amazon Prime Video’s hit series The Boys. The show, which explores a college for superheroes, showcased his charisma and range, winning him recognition from both fans and critics.
Shockwaves Across Hollywood
News of his death sent shockwaves throughout the industry. Castmates and collaborators took to social media to share their grief. Kiernan Shipka, who starred opposite him in Sabrina, remembered him as “a one-of-a-kind soul” and “a friend who lit up every room.” Members of the Gen V ensemble, including Patrick Schwarzenegger and Jaz Sinclair, also paid tribute, describing him as warm, generous, and endlessly talented.
Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television, producers of Gen V, released a joint statement: “The world has lost a young actor of extraordinary talent. But beyond that, Chance was a kind, enthusiastic, and deeply genuine human being. His spirit will live on in the work he left behind.”
Honoring His Legacy
Following his death, the producers of Gen V confirmed that his role as Andre Anderson will not be recast. Instead, the show’s second season is being rewritten to honor his memory. Showrunner Michele Fazekas emphasized that Perdomo “exists throughout the season” in spirit and that the creative team is committed to paying tribute to him respectfully.
Though his life was cut short, Perdomo’s impact was undeniable. At just 27, he had already amassed a body of work that demonstrated both versatility and depth. From supernatural dramas to romantic sagas and superhero thrillers, he left an indelible mark on audiences across genres.
As fans revisit his performances in Sabrina, After, and Gen V, they celebrate not only his talent but also the promise of a career that ended far too soon. Chance Perdomo’s story serves as both an inspiration and a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
