Gen V Finale Kills Godolkin, Honors Chance Perdomo

Gen V season 2 was reshaped after Chance Perdomo’s March 2024 death, with writers choosing to write out his character Andre rather than recast him. Showrunner Michele Fazekas said Perdomo’s death prompted significant rewrites, including a decision to keep the core heroic group intact for the finale. Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas) channels grief into action—blowing open Godolkin’s seminar—and becomes a guardian figure who helps the students oppose Thomas Godolkin. The finale kills Thomas Godolkin and the mind‑controlled Doug while sparing the main heroes, and it leans into Project Odessa/Homelander ties to set up future crossovers within The Boys universe. The episode and production included emotional tributes, such as Andre’s sweatshirt appearing in the finale, to honor Perdomo’s memory.
