Love on the Spectrum fan-favorite Connor Tomlinson will not return for the show’s upcoming fifth season.
“It is with humility and a heavy heart that I share I will not be partaking in season 5,” Connor, 27, told Variety on Friday, April 3, after the outlet confirmed that Love on the Spectrum is renewed for another season. “I feel like three seasons is enough to tell my story and find love on my own time.”
He added, “I’ve chosen to pass the torch to the next person who can make it as big as me. Don’t worry about me: I’m still going to be in the acting business, especially voice work. I’ve always been a huge fan of animation and would love to be involved with a TV show.”
Connor joined Love on the Spectrum during 2024’s season 2, chronicling his search for love. He subsequently appeared on seasons 3 and 4, sparking a romance with Georgie Harris. Connor and Georgie, however, ultimately broke up during the most recent season.
“It was my decision to end things,” Connor exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the show’s Wednesday, April 1, premiere. “Georgie and I … this season was the longest time we spent with each other. The more we did, the more we came to realize we’re just two different people. Good people, yes, but not each other’s people.”
The Netflix star continued, “What she wanted, I couldn’t give her. What I wanted, she couldn’t give me. We both decided it was for the best.”
Connor and Georgie have since remained cordial, and he told Us that his ex even reached out on his recent birthday.
“She wanted to wish me a happy early birthday. I told her, ‘Thank you,’” Connor told Us, noting that he is still single and looking for The One. “[I want] someone smart, sophisticated and talented wouldn’t hurt, [and who is] still very kind and pretty.”
Connor’s sister, Anna Tomlinson, is also hopeful that her brother accomplishes his dreams.
“I just want to see him happy in general, but I would love to see him with someone, maybe with more, like, similar interests,” Anna told Us. “He has such an affinity for history and all things medieval. I would love to see him with someone he could just, like, nerd out with.”
Connor further revealed that he finds Anna’s support “terrific” and believes that his person is out there because of two Love on the Spectrum costars: Madison Marilla and Tyler White.
“It’s actually given me inspiration, and above all, hope,” Connor gushed of Madison and Tyler, both 28, amid their engagement. “It makes you think, maybe, it’s not too late for me.”
Love on the Spectrum is currently streaming on Netflix.
