History Series / LoveVictor

''Love, Victor'' is a Creator/{{Hulu}} {{teen drama}} and {{spinoff}} {{sequel series}} to the 2018 film ''Film/LoveSimon'', which in turn was based on the novel ''Literature/SimonVsTheHomoSapiensAgenda'' by Becky Albertalli. Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, the writers ''Love, Simon'', also created the series.

* {{Expy}}: Felix is reminiscent of Martin from the movie in terms of personality, but not ''as'' aggressively a {{dogged nice guy}} as Martin was.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Lake offhandedly mentions she would hook up with Mia if Victor won't.

* ClosetGay: Victor at the beginning of the series, because of his religious parents. At the end of season 1 he comes out to his best friend and his parents and sister.

** See CallingTheOldManOut above.

** Natasha Rothwell's Ms. Albright returns, and has since been prompted to Vice Principal.

* YourCheatingHeart: [[spoiler:Victor's mom cheated on his dad, which prompted them to move to Texas]].

** At first Victor dates Mia to fight off his attraction to Benji but finds himself becoming attracted to her as well. As he remarks, he doesn't know his sexuality label yet, just that he's "not straight".

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Unlike Simon, Victor isn't so lucky to have a family who's immediately accepting of his sexuality, which is especially noticeable in "Sweet Sixteen", when Victor is uncomfortable having Benji and his boyfriend around his homophobic grandather.

* HomoeroticDream: Victor's ferris wheel kiss dream with Benji.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Victor is deliberately one to Simon not so much in personality, but in how their home lives and external circumstances affect their coming outs. Whereas Simon came from a well-off white family who were completely accepting of him being gay, Victor comes from a working class Latinx family with more "traditional" cultural values.

* TheBeard: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:Victor starts dating Mia to keep fight off his feelings of same-sex attraction to Benji, but things get complicated when he finds himself growing close to her.. which doesn't stop Victor from staying interested enough in her to make a move on Benji]].

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler:Season 1 ends with Victor telling his parents and sister that he is gay, but it ends before we can see how they react to it.]]

* {{Foil}}: Victor is deliberately one to Simon not so much in personality, but in how their home lives and external circumstances affect their coming outs. Whereas Simon came from a well-off white family who were completely accepting of him being gay, Victor comes from a working class Latinx family with more "traditional" cultural values.

* MentorInQueerness: Simon fills this role for Victor.

** Simon corresponds with Victor through narration and appears occasionally.
** Creator/KeiynanLonsdale also returns as Bram, seen in the trailer.

* TheCameo: Creator/{{Katya}} appears in the series.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Unlike Simon, Victor isn't so lucky to have a family who's immediately accepting of his sexuality, which he notes in the trailer.

Victor (Michael Cimino) is a {{new transfer student}} at Creekwood High School, previously attended by Simon Spier (Creator/NickRobinson). When Victor starts questioning his place in the world (especially [[ComingOutStory regarding his sexuality]]) he reaches out to Simon for advice on how to figure things out, but soon realizes that his story isn't going to unfold the exact same way.

* TheBusCameBack: Simon narrates the series and appears occasionally, while Creator/KeiynanLonsdale also returns as Bram, seen in the trailer.

* TheCameo: Creator/{{Katya}} appears in the trailer.

* LongingLook: Victor makes one in the trailer.
* MoreDiverseSequel: While ''Love, Simon'' had a fairly diverse supporting cast, it being centered on a {{white male lead}} from a privileged, supportive family drew some criticism, especially since another gay character in the film (the {{camp gay}} Ethan) bore the brunt of in-universe homophobia as depicted onscreen. While Victor is more like Simon than Ethan in terms of personality and gender expression, he still comes from a different cultural and economic background where his security isn't quite as guaranteed as Simon's was.

* SequelSeries / {{Spinoff}}: Follows ''Film/LoveSimon'' chronologically, but features an entirely different cast aside from Simon and Bram returning in guest roles.
