The streaming giant has renewed Special for eight more episodes, with O’Connell back at the helm.

The story is based on O’Connell’s memoirs, I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves, documenting his experiences as a gay man living with cerebral palsy.

Aside from his writing credentials, O’Connell has been honoured with the Human Rights Commission Visibility Award in 2019, and Special has racked up a handful of Emmy nominations for Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Outstanding Actor, and Outstanding Actress for Jessica Hecht.

Australian producer Anna Dokoza will also return to Special as Executive Producer.
