Kiernan Shipka of 'CAOS' Pays Tribute to 'Kind Spirit' Chance Perdomo Following His Passing: My Heart Is Full of Love for Him

Kiernan Shipka mourns Chilling Adventures of Sabrina co-star Chance Perdomo, 27. "This hurts," Shipka wrote on Instagram. "[Chance] was a unique soul - fiery, creative, loving, connected, and caring beyond imagination." Playful yet kind. Loving and hilarious. He always made me laugh and kept me on my toes (thanks Chance for giving me piggyback rides to my trailer). 

Referring to Perdomo as "Chancey Pants," Shipka praised his generosity and the impact he had on many people. She found it difficult to imagine a world without him. I loved him completely. Always will. Shipka paid homage to her time on CAOS with Perdomo, featuring images and videos from their time on set from 2018 to 2020. The collection included selfies, a clip of Perdomo carrying Shipka, and a solo shot of the actor laughing. 

The Gen V star died in a motorcycle accident, with no other individuals involved, according to a statement from Perdomo's representative to Variety on March 30. “His love for the arts and zest for life touched everyone who knew him, and his warm legacy will continue in the hearts of those he cherished. We kindly request privacy for the family during this time of grieving for their beloved son and brother. Sadly, he passed away shortly before the start of filming for season 2 of his Prime Video series, Gen V.” 

The series producers expressed their condolences, referring to Perdomo as a "charming and smiling, enthusiastic force of nature" and an "incredibly talented performer." Season 2 of Gen V has been indefinitely postponed, as reported by Deadline. "Writing about him in the past tense doesn't make sense," they expressed. "We deeply apologize to Chance's family and mourn the loss of our friend and colleague." Hug your loved ones tonight. 

Perdomo rose to fame as Ambrose in CAOS, Shipka's warlock cousin in Sabrina. He found success as Landon in the final three After movies and as Andre on Gen V. The news is shocking and devastating. " @chance_perdomo was an incredibly talented young actor and a shining light," wrote CAOS showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa on Instagram after Perdomo's passing. "He was generous, funny, open-hearted, intelligent, complex, and soulful." The loss is deeply saddening. My condolences to his family and loved ones. 

Aguirre-Sacasa shared photos from the Sabrina set, expressing his desire for Aunt Zelda's words to be true: "There is no true death for witches, only transformation." Rest in peace, Chance. We loved you dearly, friend.
