‘Love, Victor’ Season 3 Is Officially Here and Teases at Some New Love Interests and Tons of Drama
[Note: This article contains some spoilers from season 2 of Love, Victor. Read at your own risk!]
Season 2 of Love, Victor came and went, but lemme just say I still have FEELINGS. You’d think with all these episodes, it would be a slow burn to the surprising end of the season, but NOPE. Hulu really did that and made us all fall in love with the newly out Victor (Michael Cimino) and his extremely hot boyfriend Benji (George Sear) even more than we already were before. Also, do those two have a ’ship name yet? BRB, have to go think of something.
For those who didn't follow the second season—and may I ask why not?—here’s an extremely brief summary on where the show left off. Victor, thanks to the help of one Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) the previous school year, is now out, proud, and seemingly happy in his relationship with Benji. His home life though? Um, that’s a mess. With his parents separating coupled with Victor coming to terms with his sexuality, there’s a lot of healing that needs to be done there. And despite being a basketball star at Creekwood High, he’s slowly realizing his teammates aren’t too accepting of his openly gay status.
Needless to say: Victor has got a lot going on, and he needs some help navigating everything.
Thankfully, season 3 is now officially available on Hulu so we no longer have to wonder how Victor's life is going to pan out! So without further ado, here’s every single thing we know about the new season of Love, Victor.
When will season 3 be released?
The third and FINAL (yep, last one) season of Love, Victor was released on June 15 (that was yesterday, BTW!). The cast got together for a cute little game to help celebrate the news, but that doesn’t mean it makes this big reveal any sadder than it is.

Is there a trailer?!
You bet! Just when we thought it was only going to be about Victor picking between Rahim and Benji, it looks like someone new is coming to town and also catches Victor’s eye. Meanwhile, some other new couples are starting to form and things are obviously going to get very interesting considering all the history that’s in this group. Trust us, you’re going to want to watch and see for yourself.
Good to know. Now, what can we expect from season 3?
Honestly? There’s quite a lot to unpack after the events of the second season. How are Victor and Benji doing after all the drama surrounding their relationship comes to a head? Will Victor and his mom finally reach an understanding about him being gay? And what about the rest of the Creekwood gang? Surely Pilar needs a little love right now, and Mia is just getting used to the role of being a stepdaughter/soon-to-be sister. And that ending! I’m not one to give spoilers, but…VICTOR AND BENJI MUST STAY TOGETHER! MY HEART CAN’T TAKE IT!
We honestly won’t know any deets until we finish bingeing the season, but for the moment, the cast and crew seem very excited to explore uncharted territory for teen LGBTQ+ shows.
“There’s so much love there, but there’s also so much that they have to work through,” creator/showrunner Isaac Aptaker told Entertainment Weekly in June 2021. “And it’s not a story that we’re wrapping up quickly. We tried really hard not to take the easy way out and to live in that complicated gray area.”
Cool, cool. Do we know who’s expected to return for season 3?
Well, considering the name of the show, I think it’s a given to say Michael Cimino (Victor) will make his grand return for season 3. And you can’t have Victor without his love Benji, so expect an appearance from George Sear as well. Also, what’s high school without friends and family? So Anthony Turpel (Felix), Rachel Hilson (Mia), Mason Gooding (Andrew), Bebe Wood (Lake), Isabella Ferreira (Pilar), Mateo Fernandez (Adrian), James Martinez (Armando Salazar), and Ana Ortiz (Isabel Salazar) will most likely join Michael on another adventure through teendom.
As far as any new characters we can expect to see onscreen? TBH, we have absolutely no idea. But with the storylines going in so many different directions, I think we can confidently guess that some new actors will join the cast and shake up Victor’s life just a little bit. Not that we mind, of course.
