'Gen V' Season 2 - How the Show Is Changing After Chance Perdomo's Death
The creators of Gen V are speaking out.
Following the tragic death of star Chance Perdomo, the team behind the spinoff of The Boys has opened up about what to expect from the second season.
“I really feel for the actors because they were such a family. I know it’s really hard on a lot of them,” said executive producer Eric Kripke to EW.

Instead of recasting his lead character Andre Anderson, the show decided to “re-craft” Season 2 storylines to pay tribute to him.
“It’s been challenging, to say the least. We were a week away from shooting when Chance passed away tragically. So we had to almost rethink everything, and in just a matter of weeks. But what I tell people when they say ‘wow, that’s really crazy or difficult’ [is] that pales in comparison to what his friends and loved ones are going through. It’s the least we could do,” the producer explained.
“The pain and the hardship really is with the people who loved him. My heart goes out to them. It’s all so tragic and horrible, so if we can just honor him and present his character as the hero that he was, then that’s a small token for what his loved ones are experiencing right now.”
Gen V season 2 will start filming this year.
The castmates have since released a statement following his death.
