Love, Victor is the kind of sweet, moving, realistic teen drama that any streaming service would love to have. It was originally developed for Disney Plus, but the service punted the show to its corporate streaming sibling (Disney also owns Hulu). It seems Disney Plus executives felt that certain material (alcohol use and sexual exploration) was not appropriate for the family-friendly streamer. Hulu, meanwhile, has several originals about teens, like PEN15 and Looking for Alaska, that explore more adult topics.

The Love, Victor trailer introduces the titular character, who kicks things off by writing a letter to Simon. Victor has recently moved from Texas to Atlanta, where "I thought I'd finally get the chance to be myself — or at least figure out who that even is." Almost immediately, Victor is smitten with a fellow student, a boy named Benji. "Some guys like guys. Some guys like girls. Some guys like both," he notes. "I'm not even sure what I like." On top of all that, Victor still has to deal with the regular horrors of high school.
