We Keep LGBTQ+ Women & Girls Up-To-Date
It’s hard to believe that it’s been two years since the first season of “Love, Victor” aired on Hulu. The series quickly became a fan favorite, thanks to its engaging characters, heartwarming storylines, and important messages about identity, family, friendship, and love. While I’m sad to see the series end, I’m also excited to see how Victor’s story will end, and how Lake and Lucy’s relationship will continue. So without further ado, here’s everything I know about “Love, Victor” season 3!
“Love, Victor” is a spin-off series of the gay rom-com “Love, Simon” created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. When “Love, Simon” was released, it quickly became a breakout hit. The film’s honest portrayal of gay teenage life - with all of its ups and downs - resonated with viewers of all ages, and its popularity led to calls for a sequel or spin-off. As a result, Hulu developed the show “Love, Victor” which follows a whole new group of high school students but has managed to retain the heart of the original film with incredibly likable and engaging characters.
It’s hard to believe that the series finale of “Love, Victor” is almost here. For the past two seasons, we’ve been following the ups and downs of Victor’s life as he navigates his way through high school. We’ve laughed with him, cried with him, and cheered him on as he’s found the courage to be his true self. So what can we expect from season 3?
Season 2 of the riveting drama saw Victor Salazar riding an emotional rollercoaster, as he grappled with the complexities of his love life amidst a captivating love triangle.
Caught between the steadfast connection he shared with his boyfriend, Benji, and the electrifying spontaneity of newcomer Rahim, Victor found himself at a crossroads.
The suspense reached a fever pitch in the season finale, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as Victor stood before a door, seemingly poised to reveal his choice between Benji and Rahim. Yet, the cliffhanger ending left audiences hungry for answers.
Meanwhile, the show's other characters were also navigating transformative romantic journeys: Felix and Lake reluctantly parted ways, with Felix finding solace in Victor's sister, Pilar, while Lake appeared receptive to exploring a budding connection with Lucy. Amidst these tumultuous relationships, Victor's parents endeavored to rekindle the flame in their own marriage, adding another layer of intrigue to this enthralling narrative.
The third season of “Love, Victor” will focus on the characters’ plans for life after high school. Variety noted that “Victor and his friends are faced with a new set of problems that they must work through to make the best choices for their futures with post-high school plans looming.”
Victor seems to be facing some tough choices lately. On the one hand, he loves Benji. But he’s also drawn to Rahim. And now it seems like there may be a third guy entering the mix. Nick is a new friend Victor meets at church.
It’s been confirmed that George Sear will return as Benji in the third season of the TV show. In fact, Sear has been promoted to the main cast for this season, which shows that there is more history to be told between Victor and Benji.
It’s no secret that high school sweethearts often find themselves going their separate ways once they graduate. For Mia and Andrew, the question of whether their relationship will last beyond high school is a looming one. Both Mia and Andrew are determined to figure out if their relationship is strong enough to weather the challenges of adulthood.
In the upcoming season, viewers can expect to see a more emotionally complicated Felix. While he will be in a relationship with his new girlfriend, Pilar, he will also have to juggle his lingering feelings for Lake.
I’m thrilled to announce that Ava Capri has joined the main cast of season 3! Her character Lucy first appeared in season 2 as a recurring role. Given her promotion to the main cast, it is likely that Lucy will have a more significant role in the story.
And we left off last season with Lucy having a spark with Lake, so it will be interesting to see how their relationship develops in season 3. The trailer for the new season below gives a few hints...
The main cast members will be the same for season 3:
The new character this year will be Nick played by Nico Greetham, best known for his role in “American Horror Story.”
Also, know that other cast members are returning for the finale, including:
It’s clear that the writers have planned an exciting and emotional final season that won’t leave us wanting more. So grab some popcorn and get ready for an exciting season finale. You won't want to miss the big finale of this season, with a happy ending for the sapphic couple!

I’m so excited about the final season. I’ve been following the series since it first aired, and I’ve grown to love the characters and their journey. I can’t wait to see how everything wraps up for Victor and the rest of the cast.
