Love, Victor is one of the best teen shows streaming right now. There's nothing like it on TV currently, and with an incredible season 2 that took the show to brand new heights, it’s not surprising fans have been dying for another chapter of this hit show on Hulu. Season 2 left us with a major cliffhanger and unanswered questions that still need to be addressed. First and foremost, whose house did Victor run to after the wedding?! Benji's or Rahim's?!
So, when will we finally be heading back to Creekwood for another semester? Here's everything you need to know about Love, Victor season 3.
*Major spoilers for season 2 of Love, Victor below!*
What is the release date for Love, Victor season 3?
The third season of Love, Victor is now available to stream on Hulu and Disney+! It arrived on the streamer on June 15 — right in the middle of Pride month! It honestly could not be a more perfect time to reunite with our Creekwood friends.
Is season 3 the final season of Love, Victor?
Yes, it's official. Season 3 will be the last for Love, Victor 😢. While it'll be the final time we see our faves from Creekwood, it's sure to be a good time after that season 2 finale. Michael Cimino, who plays the titular character, dropped the news with his castmates in an announcement on Instagram Reels.
The video is super cute as it takes on the "I'm passing the phone to..." trend that's taken over the internet in the last year. "I'm passing the phone to one of the best kissers I know," Michael said before the screen transitioned to George Sear, who plays Victor's BF, Benji. After other cast members joined in on the fun, Michael ended the announcement by saying "Guess what? I'm passing the phone to season 3." We simply love to see it!
What has the cast said about season 3?
Love, Victor depicts the very real emotions that come with navigating your sexuality, coming out, and finding love for the first time. The three-season series has been so important for young LGBTQ+ people, who are disproportionately underrepresented in media and in Hollywood. In an interview with E! News, the cast and crew opened up about the vital impact of season 3, as conservative states nationwide aim to severely restrict LGBTQ+ rights.
"As we're experiencing this resurgence of these draconian laws that are really terrible for LGBT youth — especially for trans youth — the Don't Say Gay bill in Florida, which is repugnant and egregious, I think it speaks to the fact that there are still people who would like to litigate queer people out of existence," executive producer Brian Tanen told the outlet.
Michael Cimino further stressed that, right now, the LGBTQ+ community "needs as much support as possible."
"There's so much going on in the world and it's so frustrating. It literally has nothing to do with [the politicians], but they're making decisions for people. It's horrible," he said.
"The [fan interactions] that mean the most to me are the ones that say, 'This show has changed my life because it inspired me to come out,'" he continued. "Or 'I watched the show with my family and it changed my mom's perspective about things.' That's my whole goal."
"Growing up, I wasn't out in high school. I didn't have these models and examples of what life could be," Ava Capri, who plays Lucy in the Hulu series, added. "Through these shows, it's just a way for people to say, ‘Oh, that's me.' It's extremely validating. I think it would have changed my life... While there's a lot of truth in trauma and it being portrayed as difficult — and that's true — there is so much joy in being queer. I feel like the show nails that. I tear up thinking about the happy endings. I love that the show lets us have it."
Is there a trailer for season 3?
Yes! The official trailer dropped on May 20, and shares a glimpse into the next chapter for Victor and the rest of the Creekwood crew. Check it out below.
How about photos?
Also yes! Hulu has released four stills from the third and final season, and OMG, they seem to tease the answer to the love triangle. In one image, Victor and Benji are on a walk at night, dressed casually. The looks on their faces seem somewhat agitated, which suggests that they might be having a tense conversation.
Meanwhile, another image shows Rahim standing by his window, dressed in a tux. He's looking out at something — might he be seeing Victor walk up to the front door?!
A third shot depicts most of the Creekwood crew huddled in a group in the hallway, while the last shows Victor standing alone on a ferris wheel at the Winter Carnival.
Who is coming back for season 3?
The future is a bit unclear for some of the characters, especially Mia and Andrew. They headed off on a road trip to go meet Mia's mom, but there's no doubt that they'll be back for more in season 3. Meanwhile, Victor also made the decision to stop asking Simon for advice, which makes us wonder if our favorite gay sherpa will be back. Other than that, it looks like all our favorites should return.
Will there be any new characters in Love, Victor season 3?
Yes! Deadline reported on Thursday, March 3, that actor Nico Greetham has joined the Love, Victor cast in a recurring role for the final season. He will play Nick, a friend Victor meets at his church.
Greetham has previously starred in American Horror Story, The Prom, and Nickelodeon's Power Rangers Ninja Steel. The actor celebrated the news on his Instagram story, writing "love you @lovevictorhulu."
What will season 3 be about?
Talk about a finale! Victor made a big decision between Benji and Rahim in the season's final moments. But, sadly for us, we don't know who he picked just yet! It will definitely be interesting to see in season 3 how Victor does without Simon's help as he continues to navigate Creekwood. Mia and Andrew went to go find her mom, while Felix and Pilar seem to be the hot new couple in town. And Lake? Things seem to be up in the air about her and Lucy. We'll have to wait and see how these storylines evolve in season 3.
