‘Love On The Spectrum’ EPs Cian O’Clery & Karina Holden On Neurodiverse Representation For A “Character-Led Show At Its Heart”


EPs Cian O'Clery and Karina Holden discuss the importance of neurodiverse representation for the cast of 'Love on the Spectrum'.

Although the series doesn’t follow the typical American reality show format, O’Clery and Holden have been thrilled with the reception from fans and the level of support every cast member has been given. KARINA HOLDEN: It’s been six, seven years, so it’s been a long journey, but what was brilliant is when Netflix came on board and the Australian series launched in 2020, it was amazing to see how the global audience embraced the concept. I think that’s the role of the director there, because he’s shooting as well as directing and he’s formed a relationship where these are people who he’s built trust with and he’s spent time with their family and it’s just being able to check in and make sure that they’re reflecting on what’s happening in a positive way, and letting them know that if they need help that they can ask for it.
