Is ‘Love on the Spectrum' Scripted? Former Cast Member Reveals If Show Is Real or Fake
Over the last few years, fans have fallen in love with the endearing cast members of Love on the Spectrum— but many have been left wondering how much of the show is real. In Touch reveals what the cast and creators have said about the making of Love on the Spectrum and if it is scripted. Love on the Spectrum is an Emmy Award-winning docuseries that explores the ups and downs of dating and relationships for individuals on the autism spectrum. It was created by Cian O'Clery and Karina Holden and got its start as a show in Australia in 2019. They later made a U.S. version of the series, which premiered on Netflix in 2022. Its third season included fan-favorite cast members such as David Isaacman and o, Tanner Smith, Dani Bowman, Connor Tomlinson and more. 'The show itself has actually become the template for people to then think, 'That's what love can look like in my life, and I can be like that character who doesn't necessarily fit the typical stereotype,'' cocreator Karina told Tudum by Netflix. 'The uniqueness of individuals within Love on the Spectrum has allowed people to be confident to pursue their version of relationships and friendships and love.' No, Love on the Spectrum is a documentary reality series and is not a fully scripted television show. While Cian has shared in interviews that some of the speed dating events on the show were arranged with the help of production, that was only to provide opportunities for the cast members to meet new people as they continued their search for love. When asked how much of the show was 'scripted,' former cast member Kaelynn Partlow – who appeared in season 1 of the series – implied that she wasn't heavily directed at all. "The only time I remember being directed was if they missed a shot and they'd ask me to repeat what I just did, like, over again,' she explained in an April 2025 Instagram reel. 'So, for example, if I walked down the stairs, but the camera wasn't sitting at the exact right angle, I'd have to walk back up and come back down.' Prior to his work with Love on the Spectrum, Cian made other documentaries with Karina about people with disabilities who were searching for jobs. 'During that process, we met lots and lots of people on the spectrum. Not only did we get to know the people we were filming really well, but we also spoke to hundreds and hundreds of people on the spectrum about their lives and what was important to them,' he said in an April 2025 interview with Tudum by Netflix. 'The story of people wanting to find love and wanting to date just kept coming up. To us, that was something that wasn't right. There was obviously a lack of support, and it just felt like a really interesting area to shine a light on.'

'Eliminate the millionaire and the money moves to someone new,' reads Netflix's description of the game, in part. 'When should they strike? Too soon and they become the target; too late and they may never get the money. Meanwhile, the millionaire can try to get rid of the cash if the heat becomes too much. This is a game of strategy and alliances, where predators can become prey in the blink of an eye.' Season 1 of 'Million Dollar Secret' debuted on March 26 with three episodes. The next two premiered on April 2 and the final two on April 9. Variety first announced the details of the series in May 2024. The first season consisted of eight 45-minute episodes.

Netflix also ordered 'Star Search,' a revival of the popular '80s and '90s show that launched the careers of Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and more. It will air live twice a week with a livestream that includes viewer voting that determines which contestants advance to the next round. 'Each episode will spotlight the best up-and-coming performers across four categories — music, dance, variety/comedy, kids — as they compete for their shot at stardom. With an arced competition structure and weekly eliminations, the series builds dramatic momentum, making every live episode an unmissable event,' reads the description. It's executive produced by Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, Madison Merritt and Elaine Metaxas for Jesse Collins Entertainment, with Jason Raff as showrunner.

'He's been obsessed with making Canada the 51st state ever since he found out Epstein Island was not eligible,' she joked of Trump, who partied with Epstein and called him a 'terrific guy' before claiming he wasn't a 'fan' of him. Lydic turned her attention to the meeting, remarking that Trump could've used the meeting for a 'proposal' to unite both nations. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement 'Come on, Donald, use that Trump charm to put a ring on it,' she said. In a clip from the meeting, Trump referred to his 51st state fantasy as having the potential to be a 'wonderful marriage' between the countries, adding that they're two places that 'like each other a lot.' 'Aw,' Lydic replied. 'It's like watching an episode of 'Love on the Spectrum,' if the spectrum was fascism.' Carney shut down Trump's annexation talk at the meeting, stressing that Canada is 'not for sale' and 'won't be for sale ever.' Lydic joked that Trump just got 'friend-zoned,' noting that he got a 'clear rejection' from Canada before playing a clip of the president's response to Carney's comments. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement 'Time ― time will tell. It's only time. But I say, never say never,' said Trump, who declared that the two countries still 'love' each other.

Netflix Love on the Spectrum's Abbey leaves fans in tears with huge tribute to David
Abbey paid tribute to her boyfriend on The Kelly Clarkson Show Abbey Romeo, the beloved star from Love on the Spectrum, has left her fans reaching for the tissues after a touching appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The 26-year-old reality TV sensation met her beau David Isaacman, 30, on the first season of Netflix's hit dating show. Since its debut in 2022, the series, which spans three seasons, has followed individuals on the autism spectrum as they navigate the complexities of dating. Abbey and David captured hearts with their genuine affection for each other and have maintained a strong relationship for nearly four years. In the most recent season, Abbey showcased her musical talents by penning a song titled Boyfriend Forever dedicated to David. She serenaded him with the tune, to which he responded that he "loved it," quickly adding, "but not as much as I love you." Now, Abbey has taken her heartfelt ballad to an even grander platform, leaving fans ecstatic. Gracing the stage of Clarkson's talk show on Monday (May 5), Abbey performed her song accompanied by a live band. The lyrics are a testament to their bond, with lines like "the lion to my lioness, the milk to my Chardonnay. My prince charming doesn't bring me flowers, you know I'd rather have gummy bears any day," reports Surrey Live. Further into the song, she reveals: "I know sometimes I'm in my head, but when I'm with you, I'm in the world instead. No one treats me better, we're so good together. Will you be my boyfriend forever?" The song concludes with a heartfelt declaration: "I wanna be your girlfriend forever." Fans were sent into a tailspin following a new performance, despite having heard the song before. Swarming to the YouTube comments section after the chat show gig aired, one fan quipped: "I'm not crying, I swear I'm just cutting onions." They weren't the only ones reaching for the tissues as another fan wrote: "I swear I cried the whole time... Abbey so proud of you and I know Christine her mum was prolly crying and so to go Abbey love you!!!" Adding to the outpouring of emotions, another viewer commented: "I cried buckets when she sang this to David. It's such a great song and she sings it beautifully. They're such a cute couple." The praise didn't stop there—a fifth viewer lauded talk show host Kelly Clarkson for showcasing the Netflix sensation's singing chops: "Abbey is Incredible!!! So happy to see her perform live with such a huge production! TY Kelly for sharing Abbey's talent! I love this song! and the rest of her music." With a back catalogue starting from 2016, Abbey has garnered over 202K listeners on Spotify for her solo tunes. Love on the Spectrum is streaming now on Netflix.
