The series’ star Michael Cimino took to his Instagram story to share the news of the wrap. We’d share the video but it’s on his story which doesn’t share here so we sourced his IG below.
The series will be set in the same world of the film and follows new character Victor (Cimino) on his journey of self-discovery: facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city, and struggling with his sexual orientation. When it all seems too much, he reaches out to Simon to help him navigate the ups and downs of high school. Rachel Naomi Hilson co-stars as Mia, Victor’s whip-smart friend.
