Hulu Teases ‘Love, Victor’ With Dramatic New Trailer

Victor is just like any other high schooler, trying to figure out who he is and where he fits in, and moving to a new city only makes everything more confusing. Good thing he has a trusted confidant to seek advice from. Hulu released the trailer for the new Love, Simon spinoff series Love, Victor today, and it explores all the familiar ups and downs of teenage life.

Love, Victor follows Victor (Michael Cimino), a new student at Creekwood High School, as he tries to figure out his sexuality and his place in school while dealing with his own family issues at home. The new series takes place in the same universe as Love, Simon, so to cope with it all, Victor writes letters to Simon (Nick Robinson).

Hulu released a first-look at the upcoming teen drama last month with a sneak-peek scene, but today’s trailer reveals more of what we can expect from Love, Victor. “I was excited to start over,” Victor says in a letter to Simon. “I thought I’d finally get the chance to be myself. Or at least figure out who that even is.” As Victor meets his new classmates at school, he’s introduced to Benji (George Sear), an eventual love interest, but he’s still trying to navigate the high school dating scene. “Some guys like guys, some guys like girls, some guys like both,” he says. “I’m not even sure what I like.”

While Victor is figuring out his sexuality, he also has to worry about how his family will react. “You’re very lucky, Simon, for having the world’s most perfect, accepting parents, supportive friends,” he says. “For some of us, it’s not that easy.”

The new Hulu series also stars Ana Ortiz, James Martinez, Isabella Ferreira and Mateo Fernandez.

Love, Victor moved to Hulu in February after it was first scheduled to premiere on Disney+. Reports indicated that it was too mature for the family-focused streaming service with its themes of family problems, alcohol use, marital issues and sexual exploration.

All 10 episodes from Season 1 of Love, Victor come to Hulu June 19 during LGBTQ Pride Month. Watch the full trailer in the video above.
