'After' Franchise Loses Shane Paul McGhie for 3rd & 4th Movies

The third and fourth movies in the After franchise are currently being filmed, but they won’t feature one of the original stars.

Shane Paul McGhie has announced that he will not be returning to play Landon in After We Fell and After Ever After. It has been rumored that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actor Chance Perdomo has replaced him in the movies.

“It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing I will not be filming in Bulgaria,” Shane wrote in an Instagram story. “We could not come to an agreement and I had to make a really tough call. I had to stand up for me, the way that Landon would.”

“I am so grateful to you all for welcoming me into the After family and for supporting me along this incredible journey,” he continued. “I have felt your love from around the world and that has been the biggest blessing and honor. I have seen how, for a lot of you, After has changed your lives and been a light during dark times.”

Shane wants his fans to be graceful to whoever replaces him.

“Please welcome the actor who replaces me and treat him with the respect and love you’ve been giving me since the first day I was first brought on,” Shane said.
