The upcoming streaming service Disney+ has many exciting projects in development, and they’ve just added another one to their slate. A TV adaptation of hit teen drama Love, Simon is coming our way, with Michael Cimino in the lead role.
Instead of simply continuing Simon’s story, this series will focus on a new Creekwood High School student Victor, who’s on his “own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city, and struggling with his sexual orientation”, according to show’s official logline.
Nick Robinson, who played Simon in the original movie, will return as narrator and producer of Disney+ series. The cast will also include Ana Ortiz and James Martinez as Victor’s parents, and Isabella Ferreira and Mateo Fernandez as his siblings.
Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who co-wrote the original film, will return to executive produce Love, Simon series, and they had nothing but words of praise for the creative team behind this project.
“We have a phenomenal group of writers with tremendously personal connections to the material crafting our episodes, and have assembled a dream team cast and crew to bring these stories to life, and cannot wait to share what we’re working on with the world,” said the duo in a press release.
