Gen V Season 2 Premieres With Reworked Story Honoring Chance Perdomo

Showrunner Michele Fazekas says five scripts were scrapped to refocus the season on the aftermath of Andre’s loss.

Overview

  • Prime Video launched the second season with three episodes on September 17, with five more arriving weekly through October 22.
  • Producers declined to recast Andre after Chance Perdomo’s March 2024 death, opting to integrate the loss into the narrative.
  • Early episodes acknowledge Andre’s off-screen fate and open with a “For Chance” title card as an on‑screen tribute.
  • Fazekas explains that previously written Andre‑centric episodes were discarded and the new season’s emotional drive now stems from his absence.
  • Cast members describe returning to set as emotionally difficult and say the season was crafted to honor Perdomo’s legacy.
