Hulu has officially decided to change the premiere date for their newest coming-of-age series Love, Victor as a way to honor the upcoming Juneteenth commemoration that will mark the 155 years since slavery was abolished in America. Originally scheduled to make its debut on June 19, the spinoff series will now be available for streaming on Wednesday, June 17.
“This date represents an important turning point for our nation and for human rights,” Hulu said in a statement through Twitter. “And we believe that now, more than ever, it deserves to have its own day in the spotlight.”
