As if the announcement that Heartstopper will get two more seasons wasn’t exciting enough, fans of MLM romance got even more good news on Friday: the Love, Victor season three trailer is here, and the boys are still messy as hell.
The Love, Simon spinoff’s final season, which streams on Hulu and Disney+ beginning June 15, finds Victor (Michael Cimino) struggling not just to figure out which boy he likes, but the kind of person he wants to grow up to become. Despite choosing to stay with Benji (George Sear) at the end of season two, Victor’s complicated feelings for the equally pretty Rahim (Anthony Keyvan) — surprise! — have not gone anywhere.

As their warring desires push them toward confrontation, the three boys appear poised either for a devastating implosion or some majorly cathartic displays of emotion. Actually, it’ll probably be both, as Benji heads off on a big dramatic road trip or something to figure out his own feelings away from Victor and his puppy dog eyes while Vic waxes eloquent about how “the scariest things are also the most important” elsewhere in the trailer. (Who knows? Maybe they’ll all discover polyamory after the credits roll, but for now they all seem caught in a classic love triangle.)
Meanwhile, now that bisexual powerhouse Lake (Bebe Wood) is no longer attached to Victor’s friend Felix (Anthony Turpel), she’s free to date soft butch heartthrob Lucy (Ava Capri), confirming bisexual fans’ wildest dreams/headcanons/ships. (Come on, we all saw her in that catering tux last season.) We’d like to believe that this couple of delightful Sapphics can just be happy together for the show’s duration, but this is a teen romantic dramedy, so probably not. Still, even the trailer’s brief footage of Lucy being Lake’s big spoon in a fluffy pink bed is making it rain from our tear ducts.
It looks like all the show’s entertainingly messy plotlines are hurtling to a close, as the show prepares to wrap up at the end of this season. But right now, there’s no telling where things will land as our heroes prepare to face the big, scary world of being a “functional” adult. We’ll just have to watch the trailer a few more times to fuel our wild, fandom-induced speculation.
