Chance Perdomo, best known for his roles in Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and Prime Video’s “Gen V,” has unexpectedly died, leaving fans and colleagues mourning the loss of a talented and vibrant performer.
According to his representative, Rachel Hunt, Perdomo succumbed to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. He was 27 years old.

The producers of “Gen V” remembered him as not only a talented performer but also a warm and kind-hearted individual whose presence brightened the set. “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,” the statement read.
“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 producers said in a statement on X. “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.”
