Chance Perdomo has died. He was in the show Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Gen V. He was nearing 27 years old.
Chance played Ambrose Spellman in Sabrina the Teenage Witch: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which was a reboot of the show, and Andre Anderson in Gen V, which was a spinoff from The Boys.
His reps told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement that he died in a motorcycle accident. “His passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will carry on in those who he loved dearest,” a statement from his agents said.
“We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.” There were no other people in the accident.
Though Chance was born in Los Angeles, California, he moved to Southampton, England, as a child. Southampton is in the county of Hampshire. He later became a citizen of both the United Kingdom and the United States and starred in movies and TV shows in both countries.
Chance was up for a BAFTA for his role in Killed by My Debt (2018). In 2021, 2022, and 2023, he played Landon in the romance movies After We Fell, After Ever Happy, and After Everything.
His most recent role was as Andre Anderson in Prime Video’s Gen V. Anderson is a popular student-turned-superhero-in-training who can manipulate magnets.
The second season of the show was put on hold after news of his death. We are having trouble understanding this. For those of us who knew and worked with him, Chance was always happy and smiling. He was an energetic force of nature, a wildly talented performer, and most of all, a very kind and lovely person, the show’s producer told Deadline.
And it doesn’t make sense to write about him in the past tense either. Our hearts go out to Chance’s family; we’re sad about the death of our friend and coworker. Please give your loved ones a hug tonight.
“The whole Gen V family is devastated by Chance Perdomo’s sudden death,” Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television said.
“Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television extend our heartfelt thoughts and support to Chance’s family and all who loved him at this difficult time.”
Chance was happy about his bike in one of his last posts on social media. Earlier this month, he posted a bunch of pictures on Instagram from different places. He was lying on a couch in one, and taking a selfie in front of a mirror in another.
The third picture in the carousel post was a stock picture of a bike. It said “Day 77. Final calm before storm” and had the hashtag “back on the road” next to it.
