The creators of the running Amazon show Gen V were also left shocked by the tragedy. Showrunners also released a statement in which they expressed their disbelief at the heartbreaking news. 

“We can’t quite wrap our heads around this. For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person,” the Gen V producers said in a joint statement, adding, “Even writing about him in the past tense doesn’t make sense. We are so sorry for Chance’s family, and we are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague. Hug your loved ones tonight.”

Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, which also produces Gen V, wrote, “The entire Gen V family is devastated by the sudden passing of Chance Perdomo. 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.”

Season 2 of Gen V is delayed following Chance Perdomo's death 

The cast and producers of Prime Video’s Gen V were supposed to reconvene in Toronto for the superhero series’ first Season 2 table read this afternoon ahead of the start of filming, scheduled for April 8 in the Canadian city.

In light of Perdomo’s passing, the start of Season 2 production on Gen V has been delayed indefinitely. After they spend time grieving Perdomo’s sudden death, the series’ writers and producers might face the dilemma of how to proceed with the series without one of its lead actors. They will either have to overhaul the new season and redo all scripts to write Perdomo’s character off or recast the role.
