Victor and Valentino is an American animated television series created by Diego Molano for Cartoon Network. It is produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The series follows the titular duo, two half-brothers staying with their grandmother in the Mexican town of Monte Macabre, where they interact with supernatural beings that plague the town, many of whom are derived from Aztec, Olmec, and Mayan mythologies.

Molano later stated his excitement in "putting the "spotlight" on these cultures and in having more representation, calling the show "a baby step" in letting Latinos feel they are "part of this tapestry that’s America."[4] Molano also called the series "a supernatural adventure comedy with some action elements," and stated that he loves how he can explore his "favorite subject" (mythology) by focusing on "Mesoamerican mythologies of pre-Hispanic indigenous people of the Americas."[5]

On March 30, 2019, the show was greenlit for a full TV series, premiering simultaneously in the United States and Latin America.[6][7] On July 15, the show was renewed for a second season which premiered on April 18, 2020.[8] In February 2021, the show was renewed for a third season which premiered on September 4, 2021.[9] In August 2022, the series was removed from HBO Max in the U.S.. Later, it was announced that the third season would be the final season of the show, with the series finale airing on August 26, 2022.[10][11]
