Filming for Gen V Season 2 had just begun in Canada when news broke of Perdomo’s death in a motorcycle accident. The producers were faced with the difficult task of figuring out how to incorporate the actor’s death into the storyline of the show.
In an interview with TVLine, Kripke revealed that Perdomo’s character, Andre Anderson, will also meet a tragic end in the upcoming season. He expressed his condolences to Perdomo’s family and emphasized that they are not trying to replace him, but rather honor his memory by portraying his character’s death on the show.
