Rest In PeaceJaz Sinclair, Kiernan Shipka and More Stars React to Chance Perdomo Death

Kiernan Shipka

Chance’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina costar, Kiernan Shipka, posted a heartfelt tribute to her Instagram on April 2.

“Chancey Pants,” she began this post. “Oh man this hurts. He was a one of a kind soul. Just the most fiery, creative, loving, connected, and caring force you could possibly imagine… As playful as he was kind. As loving as he was hilarious. He never failed to make me laugh and he never failed to keep me on my toes (or off of them if he was giving me a piggyback ride to my trailer which he often did. Thanks Chance.) His humanity was a generous gift to me and to so many people. Really hard to picture this world without him in it. I loved him with my whole heart. I always will.”

Jaz Sinclair

Jaz Sinclair, who was Perdomo’s costar on both Gen V and Sabrina, first reacted to the tragic news on April 2, posting a broken heart emoji on her Instagram Story.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

Chill Adventures of Sabrina creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared an emotional tribute to the actor via Instagram following the news.

“There aren’t a lot of words for news as shocking and devastating as this. Besides being one of the most talented young actors I’ve ever had the privilege to work with, @chance_perdomo was, truly, a light,” he wrote alongside three pictures from the Sabrina set. “A generous, funny, open-hearted, wildly intelligent, and fiercely complex and soulful human being. The loss is heartbreaking and staggering. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.”

He continued:”Oh, how I wish Aunt Zelda’s words were true today (and maybe they are): ‘There is no true death for witches, only transformation.’ Rest in peace, Chance. We all loved you so, so much, friend. P.S. This first picture is from Day One of shooting the ‘Sabrina’ pilot (I believe). He’d either just played (or was about to play) a practical joke on Kiernan. It’s how I always picture Chance.”

Patrick Schwarzenegger

“This hurts. A lot. What a young talented actor, and a great friend – gone way too soon,” he wrote via X. “Was a pleasure to work with him in GenV. RIP Chance.”

Lizze Broadway

Alongside several photos with Perdomo, Gen V actress Lizze Broadway posted a handwritten note to her Instagram page in honor of her former costar.

“Remembering my beloved friend and cast mate, Chance Perdomo, whose passing has left a profound void in my heart. Chance possessed so many interpersonal gifts that I treasured deeply. He was a vital part of my growth as an individual, his gentle spirit lifting me up when I needed it most,” she wrote. “To me, he was and always will be my superhero. I am in shock and grieving his loss deeply. Rest In Peace, dear Chance. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love you.”

Sean Patrick Thomas

Sean Patrick Thomas, who played Perdomo’s father in Gen V, posted an Instagram tribute for the actor, alongside several photos of them together.
“Chance. Blinding intellect. Encyclopedic knowledge of hip hop. Raw talent,” he wrote. “You were destined to make yourself unforgettable in this world, and in a brief time you achieved it. You ran your race with style my man. I’ll miss our long talks friend.”
