To celebrate and say farewell to the beloved teen dramedy Love, Victor, we are joined by three of its young stars, Anthony Turpel (‘Felix’), Isabella Ferreira (‘Pilar’), and Mateo Fernandez (‘Adrian’). The trio talks about their character’s growth, share what they hope audiences take away from the series, and reminisce about what they were thinking and feeling on their first day of production.

 

“I remember being so nervous and not knowing what to do or what to say,” Ferreira shared. Although the young actress had worked on series like Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black, her role in Love, Victor was her first series regular role. “I was so scared but everyone was so sweet and kind and everyone had open arms.” Fernandez similarly was nervous, especially being the youngest member of the cast and only being 9 years at the time of his casting. “I was so scared and so shy, I didn’t say a word, I’m sure you remember,” he said to Ferreira, who plays his older sister on the show. 

 

Reflecting on his character’s growth throughout the series, Turpel spoke on how much Felix has gone through, starting as the goofy best friend and later having to become his mother’s caretaker when her depression was at its worst. “Balancing that and school and learning to reach out for help, or even figure out what help even is. In his mind, everything was fine, and he was dealing with this for a long time. He’s grown incredibly over the last three years.”

 

Ferreira then shared that she is most looking forward to for audiences to see “the chaos that is season three but we send things off in a very good way. We really put our all and care so much about the show and just wanted to leave it off in a really peaceful manner.” Fernandez chimed in, “I’m excited to see how people react to the chaos and to the endings, especially if they have predictions for what happens after the series ends.”

 

The third and final season of Love, Victor will be available to stream in its entirety on June 15th on Hulu and Disney+
