On Wednesday, Feb. 11, the actor's family confirmed he died earlier that morning after battling stage 3 colorectal cancer since 2023.
“I really let go of any attachments that I had to what it means to be an actor, or what my own version of success is or felt like or needs to be. And I just really felt like, ‘Oh, I could walk away from this,'” Van Der Beek said at the time. “And then when I got cancer and I looked around at the world and where my place is in it and wanting to stay in it, I realized I love to tell stories. I really am so grateful for this opportunity to write and to act.”

“And so I’m really looking forward to this next act,” he said.
“I think it’s going to be a combination of things that I write and create and things that I’m just lucky enough to step into and join,” he explained. “I would imagine there’s got to be some comedy in there and hopefully some singing and dancing, too.”
According to an article in Variety about his casting last spring, Van Der Beek’s character is “the city’s new Mayoral candidate and current school district superintendent.”
Elle has already finished filming season one, and a premiere date is set for July 1 on Prime Video.
