Chance Perdomo played Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix horror series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” for four seasons before landing the lead role in the superhero university satire “Gen V.” But Chance Perdomo will no longer play any more roles; he dies in an accident.
Chance Perdomo, known from the series “Gen V” and “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”, has died in a motorcycle accident. He was only 27 years old. Perdomo’s rep confirmed to Variety: “It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident.” The exact cause of the accident and the location of the incident have not yet been disclosed. However, the authorities are said to have reported that no other people were involved.
It continues: “His passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life were felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will continue in those he loved most.” The spokesman also said that the family of the deceased requested privacy “as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”
“An enthusiastic force of nature”
The producers of Perdomo’s most successful project to date, the “The Boys” spin-off “Gen V”, also commented on Perdomo’s death in a statement. They cannot believe the tragedy, it says. They describe the actor as “always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented artist and, above all, a very friendly, lovable person.” The producers continue to express their condolences to the actor’s family and conclude with the sentence: “Hug your loved ones tonight.”
Second season put on hold
The first season, released last year during the Hollywood strikes, was a hit with critics and audiences. Production on the second season, which was expected to begin filming in April, was postponed indefinitely following Perdomo’s death.
In addition to “Gen V,” Perdomo was also known for his role as Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix horror series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” in which he starred opposite Kiernan Shipka. The series ran for four seasons from 2018 to 2020. He received a BAFTA nomination for Best Actor in 2018 for his leading role in the BBC television film “Killed by My Debt”. In 2019 he appeared in the series “Inspector Barnaby”.
