Gen V season 2 indicates the core students will be forcibly returning to Godolkin University. This includes dealing with the new Dean Cipher who is pushing Supe students to their limits, while fighting back against both the school and Vought.

However, Andre will not appear alongside other characters in Gen V due to Perdomo's death in March 2024. Following the actor's death, the season was rewritten to address his absence and honor his role as Andre within the story itself. Season 2's trailer hints at how his legacy will be ed in the show, making him a central part of the story even though the actor ed away. Based on what the trailer sets up, it appears his absence will be an important part of how the overall story of season 2 plays out.

Andre Anderson's Father, Polarity, Is Seeking Revenge Against GodU To Discover "What Really Happened" To Him

Polarity Is Trying To Find Out His Son's Fate

Gen V season 2's trailer didn't offer any hints as to Andre's whereabouts. Instead, the bigger focus was on his friends returning to GodU, seemingly under the watchful eyes of Cate and Cipher. The students are still dealing with the much larger threat of the school and the company that owns it, trying to start a revolt against those who hold power in the university. However, nothing about their story indicates it will directly focus on Andre's absence, with no confirmation about what his disappearance means for the story.

However, while the students' story doesn't address Andre's absence, his father, Polarity, is investigating what happened to his son. While he's always been loyal to Vought, enough that he injected Andre with Compound V when he was a child, that goodwill appears to be slipping now that his son has vanished. The trailer includes multiple scenes of Polarity angry at the school, going as far as to suggest destroying it. This includes a scene where he tearfully looks at a picture of his family, suggesting his storyline will be an emotional anchor for the episodes ahead.

Whatever his father discovers about his fate will likely shape the course of his actions moving forward...

Given how big a role Polarity is getting, it seems like Andre's fate will be crucial to Gen V season 2's story. Whatever his father discovers about his fate will likely shape the course of his actions moving forward, fully turning him against GodU in the process. He'll also be dealing with the news that his powers are causing micro-tears in his neurons that are the cause of his seizures, meaning he may have a limited amount of time to damage Vought as much as he can for what they did to Andre.

Andre Anderson's Continued Story In Gen V Season 2 Honors Chance Perdomo's Legacy

Andre Will Have An Important Role Despite Perdomo's Death

Gen V is approaching Chance Perdomo's role as Andre in a respectful manner, making him a core part of the story despite the actor's death. Polarity's investigation into what happened to his son makes him a central part of the story despite not appearing onscreen. It's a better approach than writing Andre out with little to no explanation, instead honoring his legacy by giving him a presence in the story. Not only does it emphasize how he helped shape the story of season 1, but it also drives the narrative forward while acknowledging his absence.

As Polarity uncovers the truth about what happened to Andre, Gen V season 2 is shaping up to pay tribute to his role on the show by continuing to make him an important presence. Although it stings knowing Perdomo won't be able to see how the series evolves going forward, the cast and crew clearly intend to honor everything he contributed to the show. How this will impact the larger story remains to be seen. However, it will no doubt center his father as a core character, who may even help the students of GodU in their revolt against Vought.

Gen V season 2 premieres with three episodes on Wednesday, September 17 on Prime Video.
