Perdomo played the role of Andre Anderson in Prime Video's spin-off series of The Boys. In the show, Andre is a popular student at Godolkin University with the ability to manipulate things magnetically. 

Sharing the news on social media, the makers said, “As we continue to navigate the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, everyone at Gen V is determined to find the best way to pay respect to his memory. We won't be recasting the role, because no one can replace Chance.”

The storyline of the second season, set to start shooting this month, is being rewritten to incorporate Perdomo's demise. ''Instead, we have been taking the time and space to recraft our season 2 storylines as we begin production in May,'' the Gen V producers added.
