The makers of Gen V said in a joint statement following the tragic news of Permodo's passing: "We can’t quite wrap our heads around this. For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person."

Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, which produce Gen V, also said in a statement: "The entire Gen V family is devastated by the sudden passing of Chance Perdomo.

Gen V co-star Dan Beirne, who played social media advisor Jeff, wrote on his Instagram Story: "I spent probably five days with him but it was enough to know he was so funny and talented and generous and joyful. His smile lit up a room."
