“Love on the Spectrum U.S.” won two Emmys at the 76th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in September. Northern Pictures, the Australian company that produces both the Australian and U.S. shows, won for outstanding casting for a reality program and another for outstanding director for a reality program. Three cast members of the U.S. show’s first season, Dani Bowman, Abbey Romeo, and David Isaacman, were presenters.
In an article on the Variety Australia website, co-creators Karina Holden and Cian O’Clery said that they created the series with “the idea of love and belonging being something everyone deserves.” They also credited the cast, noting that they are all “so open, honest, and real, they are the reason we are being recognized with these awards.”
Romeo, Bowman, and Issacman presented two awards for lighting and attended an Emmy Awards afterparty. Bowman later posted photos on Instagram, writing that it was “so amazing to get together with my LOTS family again…Eternally grateful for the opportunities that the LOTS crew show and @Netflix has given me, by showcasing how we on the spectrum are all very different, but not so different after all! We all want the same thing as you… LOVE!”
The recent awards bring the total number of Emmys to five for “Love on the Spectrum U.S.,” after the program won three in 2022. The show is also due to appear on Netflix for its third season, according to a Disability Scoop article, after the second season ranked among the top 10 shows globally for three weeks.
You can watch an edited broadcast of the Emmy Awards on Hulu through Oct. 9.
