The series adaptation of the feature film Love, Simon has jumped from the Disney+ streaming service over to Hulu and has also gotten an official name change and will now be called Love, Victor. THR reports that the series “is set to debut during Pride Month in June and revolve around Victor, a new student at Creekwood High School.” This is the same setting as the high school in the film. Also, Love, Victor “follows Victor on his own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city and struggling with his sexual orientation.”
The report says that sources say the half-hour comedy series made the streaming switch because of the adult-themed subjects that will be addressed in the show. Disney+ has made its streamer a more all-ages family-focused service, so the teen-adult content will be more free to explore at Hulu.
The series stars Michael Cimino as Victor, as well as Ana Ortiz, James Martinez, Isabella Ferreira, and Mateo Fernandez. Nick Robinson, who starred as Simon in the movie, will serve as executive producer on the series, as well as narrator of the Hulu original. The series and film are based on the bestselling YA novel by Becky Albertalli called Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
