The trailer of Love, Victor, a spin-off series of the much-loved film Love, Simon is now out. The series was in the news thanks to its move from Disney Plus to Hulu after the series’ adult themes seemed o have had a problem with the former streaming platform that stressed on its family-viewing audience. Well, Disney's loss is now Hulu's gain and from the looks of the trailer, it looks like the series is going to be as promising as the film. The series revolves around Victor (Michael Cimino) as a transfer student from Texas to Creekwood High School in Atlanta, which is the same locale where the original movie was set.
