BBC Acquires Love, Victor

The American teen comedy-drama Love, Victor has been acquired by the BBC from Disney Entertainment.

All three seasons of the series are set to be available on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. Love, Victor is inspired by and set in the same world as the 2018 film Love, Simon and follows Victor’s journey of self-discovery as he faces challenges at home and struggles with his sexual orientation.

The 10×30-minute season one stars Michael Cimino (Never Have I Ever), Rachel Hilson (Red, White & Royal Blue), Anthony Turpel (The Bold and The Beautiful), Bebe Wood (The New Normal), Mason Gooding (Scream VI) and Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty).

Sue Deeks, head of BBC program acquisition, said: “Love, Victor is a heartfelt, funny and nuanced coming-of-age story, beautifully portrayed by a winning and relatable cast.”
