I watched that video also, and James actually said near the beginning that they made Victor so unlikable because he was supposed to die, then now decided he's not going to die. LOL, just like Spike.
Looking forward to see how they resurrect him. One of the showrunners said in an interview.

We saw a glimpse of the capsule that Victor is in. Are we going to see him next season?
Savage: Victor will spend some time in Jonah’s box, but he’ll be coming out one way or another. But what that actually means in terms of who Victor is and what his allegiances are remain to be seen.
