Connor Tomlinson
Connor is 24 years old and hails from Atlanta. In his world, autism is the key to unlocking a "more vivid imagination," and he lets his creativity soar as an avid collector of swords and a devoted fan of fantasy films and television.
Nestled in the warmth of his tight-knit family, which includes three younger siblings, his mom, stepdad, and their trio of canine companions, Connor acknowledges a lingering fear of spending the "rest of [his] life alone." Determined to break free from his comfort zone, he's dipping his toes into the world of dating for the first time.
Journey
Journey, an 18-year-old residing in Chicago with her family, has never been on a date and is very excited to explore the world of romance with the right woman. Just a year ago, she received an autism diagnosis that not only validated her past experiences but also unraveled more about herself.
Beyond her zest for love, Journey has a passion for baking, infusing her creativity into delectable treats. As she gears up for her first-ever date, you can bet she's bringing something sweet to make the experience even more memorable.
Tanner Smith
Tanner, who describes himself as "a kind young man who spreads joy all around the world," is 24 years old and lives in Clemson, S.C. He's on a mission to make the world a better place, and his job at a local downtown hotel is the perfect place for such endeavors.
Despite being a rookie in the dating world, Tanner's eagerness to find his soulmate is off the charts — we're talking a solid 12 on a scale of 1 to 10! When he's not charming guests at the hotel, he's dreaming of connecting with someone who shares his passion for animals and U.S. history.
Dani Bowman
Dani is 28 years old and comes from Los Angeles. After learning some hard lessons about dating in Season 1, she's making a stylish comeback and pledging to switch things up. Dani now advocates for the timeless wisdom of "getting to know the person before making any moves."
Since the tender age of 12, Dani's been living the dream with her aunt and uncle in L.A., where she runs her animation company, DaniMation. As for her ideal match, Dani hopes to find a fellow animation buff — but she says he "must be completely independent and have his own passions."
James Jones
James, a 32-year-old from Boston, has been basking in the glory of pseudo-celebrity status since we last caught up with him in Season 1. Reveling in newfound recognition, he proudly declares, "A lot of people have been recognizing me now. That's been pretty cool."
Even though James lives with his parents, June and Lawrence, he's still searching for that "special someone" to share life's greatest moments. He's now back in the game, eagerly searching for the perfect life partner who will hopefully appreciate his fabulous mane of luscious locks.
Abbey Romeo Lutes
Abbey is 24 years old and calls Los Angeles home. Since her debut in Season 1, Abbey's life has taken a delightful detour towards the extraordinary. She's still head over heels for her boyfriend, David, and the happy couple is now on the brink of celebrating a blissful two years together.
Abbey lives with her mom, Christine, in L.A. Amidst juggling her massive social media presence and running an online business, Abbey volunteers at a thrift store. Abbey says she's been learning to "manage [her] disability even more," a journey made smoother with David by her side, who she says makes her "feel like a princess."
Steve
Steve is 64 years old and lives in San Francisco. After taking a brief hiatus from the dating scene since Season 1, he's dusting off his charm and preparing for a triumphant return to the world of love. With his trusty personal assistant's help, Steve is ready to go on his first date in over a year.
"I never know how or where I'll find [love], but I just have this feeling that I'm absolutely meant to be with somebody," he says. Diagnosed with autism later in life, Steve is excited to reignite his search for his perfect match.
The first two seasons of Love on the Spectrum U.S. are now streaming on Netflix.
