In Love, Victor's final season, the most engaging parts have often very little to do with its bashful title character

"The show is more fruitful when it explores the outskirts of Victor’s story," says Manuel Betancourt. "Those of us who so fell for Rahim last season, for instance (and who maybe are still wishing he’d get his own Love, Rahim spin-off) will be delighted at seeing the tall math whiz get plenty more chances to charm. Similarly, the lovely, awkward energy that Lake and Felix (the always hilarious Bebe Wood and Anthony Turpel) brought out in each other is here further refracted once each finds a new better half with whom to share their quirky idiosyncrasies. It’s in those stories at the margins—with Victor’s friends navigating what it means to grow into oneself, often butting heads with their own well-meaning parents—where the most exciting aspects of the show are taking place. Much of it, it must be pointed out, is due to the strength of the series’ young ensemble; Keyvan, Wood, and Ava Capri (whose Lucy, in particular, volleys beautifully with Lake) all light up the scenes they’re in...The light these many teens bring into each other’s lives is central to how Love, Victor structures its many mini-dramas."

ALSO:

Michael Cimino says Love, Victor ended at the right time: "I feel like we closed the chapter at the right length, and on the right page," he says. "Sometimes, there’s a corporate part of our industry that wants to make another season and another season. But sometimes it’s better to let a good thing die, and even though we are all going to miss it, it’s better that Love, Victor can end as a good thing."
Inside Love, Victor's very poetic series finale: “It really does feel to us like a high school show, and that’s sort of always what it was built to be,” says co-creator Isaac Aptaker . Following the characters during the age “when you’re finding yourself and in such a stage of discovery felt so specific in terms of what we wanted the show to tackle.”
Love, Victor head writer Brian Tanen says the show being part of Disney+ is "especially meaningful in the current political climate": We’re excited to be on Disney+," says Tanen. "It expands our audience in a really exciting way. Disney+ is a huge platform. I also think it’s especially meaningful in the current political climate, where state governments especially are enacting these really terrible and draconian laws, where they’re trying to suggest that gay topics are not appropriate for children. This 'Don’t Say Gay' bill in Florida is what I’m specifically referencing, but there’s so many laws also targeting trans people and trans youth, and behind it all is this feeling of wanting to have these things be in the shadows instead of seen. So shows like Love, Victor — it becomes sort of a radical act just to exist, to be seen, to tell people like, “Yeah, you could have a love story between gay kids and it’s great, and also it’s going to be on Disney+ for this huge audience on a network that is totally affiliated with families.” It’s especially meaningful to our audiences, it’s very meaningful to me."
