When is Love, Victor released on Disney Plus UK? How to watch and stream

A sequel of sorts to Love, Simon, the delightful 2018 movie, Love, Victor is now available on Disney+ thanks to the launch of Star on Disney Plus.

The roll-out of Star accounts for the biggest library update to the streamer yet and as well as Love Victor, there are many others shows and movies coming as part of the Disney+ Star content on the way from the complete run of Family Guy to Con Air to Solar Opposites.

But what is Love, Victor about? And when can we watch it here in the UK? Here's all you need to know.

When is Love, Victor's release date?

Love, Victor was released on February 23rd, as part of the launch of Star on Disney+. Luckily, we won't have to wait for weekly new episodes of this show as all ten are set to drop on the same day, so we can watch the lot!

How to watch Love, Victor on Disney+

The series is now on Star (which forms part of Disney+). It will be in its own section so just head there via Disney+, and you'll see Love, Victor ready to watch.

Love, Simon is not part of the launch line-up but considering it is on Hulu US, we expect it to make its way across the Atlantic soon. In the meantime, you can buy the DVD via Amazon.
