Season 4 trailer teases internal strife and power struggles as the release date is set for June 13.
The creative team behind Prime Video’s hit series Gen V, a spinoff of The Boys, has decided not to recast Chance Perdomo‘s pivotal role following his untimely demise. Perdomo, who portrayed the character Andre Anderson, tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident while en route from New York to Toronto.
We won’t be recasting the role, because no one can replace Chance.
The producers recently announced on Gen V’s official X account their plans to rewrite the upcoming season. They intend to phase out Andre Anderson’s character in a manner that honors Perdomo’s contributions and preserves his memory.
“As we continue to navigate the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, everyone at Gen V is determined to find the best way to pay respect to his memory.
We won’t be recasting the role, because no one can replace Chance. Instead, we have been taking the time and space to recraft our Season 2 storylines as we begin production in May.
We will honor Chance and his legacy this season.”
Perdomo’s death in March came as a profound shock to his colleagues and fans. The 27-year-old actor was fatally injured in an accident that involved no other parties. Details about the crash remain scarce, but the loss can be felt within the “Gen V” community, giving way to an outpour of tributes and condolences. His passing has halted production and, more importantly, left a void in the ensemble cast.

The Boys Season 4: Power Plays, Internal Strife, and Personal Losses
Meanwhile, the anticipated The Boys Season 4 is readying to deliver an explosive and emotionally charged experience, as evidenced by its newly released trailer. The narrative arc of Season 4 introduces viewers to a world teetering on the brink of disaster amid the escalating chaos and power struggles.
Victoria Neuman is making strides toward the Oval Office, finding herself increasingly influenced by Homelander, whose grip on power tightens relentlessly. Meanwhile, Billy Butcher faces his own set of dire challenges: he is terminally ill, has lost the trust of his team, and is reeling from personal losses, all of which compound his desperation.

The trailer paints a picture of internal discord among The Boys, with each member grappling with Butcher’s deception and the collective burden of their fractured mission. As they navigate their fraught relationships, they must also confront the greater existential threat that looms over them.
Despite the series’ production being finalized — a fact proudly announced by showrunner Eric Kripke — the release date is set for June 13. The delay, as Kripke explains, is due to logistical necessities such as multilingual dubs and country-specific formatting requirements essential for a simultaneous global release.
“For everyone asking why we can’t release it right away: now Amazon needs to dub the show in dozens of languages, different countries need different formats, on and on. It’s what happens when you drop the show globally at once. That’ll take ‘em right up to June 13.”
