British and American actor Chance Perdomo, known for his roles in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the After movies, and new show Gen V, has died at 27 years old following a motorcycle accident, Deadline reported on March 30.
Variety shared a statement from Perdomo’s publicist confirming the news and noting that no one else was injured in the accident. “It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident,” the statement reads. “Authorities have advised that no other individuals were involved. 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. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”
Perdomo played Andre Anderson on Gen V, a spinoff of superhero show The Boys which aired its first season in the fall of 2023. The producers of Gen V also shared a statement with Deadline.
“We can’t quite wrap our heads around this,” the producers’s note reads. “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. 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.”
The 27-year-old was born in Los Angeles but grew up largely in Southhampton, England. He got his start in theater, and his big break came in 2018 when he was cast as Ambrose Spellman in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix. The Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa show had two seasons on Netflix and brought him into wider acclaim.
Chance Perdomo then took over the role of Landon in the third After movie series installment After We Fell and became a fan favorite, acting in sequels After Ever Happy and After Everything. His most recent role was in Gen V, where he starred alongside fellow Sabrina alum Jaz Sinclair, Lizzie Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, and Asa Germann.
