Love on the Spectrum, the wholesome docuseries that follows Australian singles with autism as they navigate the world of dating and relationships, captured the hearts of viewers across the world when it first came to Netflix in 2020. Now, more folks are getting the chance to look for love themselves. 

The team behind the Australian show is back with Love on the Spectrum U.S., which follows American singles with autism who are doing the same thing. According to the show’s synopsis, the series “tells the stories of a unique and diverse cast of characters searching for something we all hope to find: love.”

“We are all looking for the same thing: respect, understanding and a whole lot of love,” autism expert Jennifer Cook says in the trailer. 

Like the Australian version of the show (which produced more than a few happy couples), Love on the Spectrum U.S. is poised to create some real-life fairy-tale romances, too. In the trailer, one guy confesses that he likes his date “so much,” while another woman admits, “I really like how you hold my hand.” 

“You’re my lion, and I’m your lioness,” another woman excitedly tells her date after a day at the zoo. 

We’ll find out if these couples mate for life when the show drops on May 18, but for now, watch the sparks fly in the trailer below.
