Hulu Changes Release Dates for LOVE, VICTOR and TASTE THE NATION
Hulu was getting ready to drop two of its newest original programs on June 19: Love, Victor and Taste the Nation. However, the streaming service has decided to change those plans stating that June 19, the 155 anniversary of the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas (the last state to hear it) aka Juneteenth, was not a good day for this. So, they have made the decision to release Love, Victor on June 17 and Taste the Nation on June 18 instead.
Love, Victor
Set in the world of the 2018 groundbreaking film LOVE, SIMON which was inspired by Becky Albertalli’s acclaimed novel, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, the series follows Victor, a new student at Creekwood High School on his own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city and exploring 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.
Love, Victor stars Michael Cimino, Ana Ortiz, James Martinez, Isabella Ferreira, Mateo Fernandez, Rachel Naomi Hilson, Bebe Wood, George Sear, Anthony Turpel, and Mason Gooding. Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, the writers of Love, Simon, serve as executive producers.
Taste the Nation
Padma Lakshmi will take us on a food journey through the food cultures of various immigrant groups. I’m looking forward to this unscripted series.
In Taste the Nation, award winning cookbook author, host and executive producer Padma Lakshmi, takes audiences on a journey across America, exploring the rich and diverse food culture of various immigrant groups, seeking out the people who have so heavily shaped what American food is today. From indigenous communities to recent immigrant arrivals, Padma breaks bread with Americans across the nation to uncover the roots and relationship between our food, our humanity and our history - ultimately revealing stories that challenge notions of identity, belonging, and what it means to be American.
