Prime Video's The Boys spinoff Gen V returned for its second season a year after the superhero satire faced a real-life tragedy. On March 30, 2024, Chance Perdomo, who played top student Andre Anderson, died in a motorcycle accident shortly before filming on season 2 was set to begin. As Gen V's cast and crew mourned the 27-year-old's death, fans wondered how the series would honor the loss of one of its leading stars.
In Gen V season 2's first three episodes, which arrived on the streamer on September 17, viewers catch up with the undergrad supes one year after they were imprisoned in the season 1 finale. While Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) successfully escaped the prison Elmira at some point, Jordan Li (London Thor/Derek Luh) and Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway) were still locked up. The season begins as Jordan and Emma are reunited with Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips), and the sounds of Andre's off-screen death are heard as Cate reads Jordan's mind.
