In a recent acquisition move that’s set to delight fans, the BBC has secured the rights to all three seasons (28 episodes of 30 minutes each) of the critically acclaimed American teen comedy-drama series, “Love, Victor.” This exciting development adds another gem to the BBC’s roster of exceptional programming.

The first season of “Love, Victor,” comprising 10 episodes of 30 minutes each, introduces viewers to a captivating ensemble cast including Michael Cimino (known for his role in “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”). The series was created by the talented duo Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, drawing inspiration from the heartwarming 2018 film “Love, Simon.”

“Love, Victor” transports viewers to the halls of Creekwood High School, where we follow the journey of Victor, portrayed by the talented Michael Cimino. Victor’s story is one of self-discovery, as he grapples with the challenges of his home life and wrestles with questions about his own sexual orientation. In moments of uncertainty, Victor reaches out to Simon, played by Nick Robinson, who starred in the original “Love, Simon” film. Simon becomes a guiding light for Victor, offering support and wisdom as he navigates the tumultuous terrain of high school.
