Love, Victor is on the move.
Hulu has revealed it is moving the June 19 launch of the series out of respect for “Juneteenth,” which marks 155 years since slavery was abolished in the U.S.
“This date represents an important turning point for our nation and for human rights,” Hulu said in a statement, “and we believe that now, more than ever, it deserves to have its own day in the spotlight.”
Love, Victor will now bow on Wednesday, June 17.
The streamer has also announced that Padma Lakshmi-hosted docuseries Taste the Nation — which was also set to premiere on June 19 — will now debut on Thursday, June 18.
