MultiCon Adds Reality Stars and ‘Forgotten Island’ to the Jam Packed Celebrity Line-Up

This year’s MultiCon is going to be one for the ages! The convention for fans is a one day event that is for charity and brings fans together with some of their favorite stars. And this year’s has quite the line-up!

Headlined by members of Netflix’s hit reality show Love on the Spectrum, the con is bringing in the team behind the new Universal animated film Forgotten Island (Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado) and more. The Love on the Spectrum team joining this year includes Dylan Aguilar, Subodh Garg, Aarti Garg, Devin Morrissey, and Melissa Ramirez. They will be at the Skirball Cultural Center on August 8 as part of the event and will be joined by casting producer Chelsea Darnell for a live roast! Dani Bowman and Adan Correa will be there virtually.

Michael Tessler, the CEO of Multihouse and creator of the fundraising con, and the Founder of Make an Impact, Traci Donnelly, both shared their excitement on including the Love on the Spectrum cast in this year’s convention.

“There’s a reason Love on the Spectrum means so much to so many of us,” said Tessler. “It’s a show about showing up as yourself and finding people who love you for it, about patience, honesty, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need to be edited into something it’s not. This cast has spent years showing audiences what authentic connection looks like, on screen and off. Having them at MultiCon, a con with a cause, felt like the most natural pairing we could ask for.”

“As a former special educator who has long known the extraordinary potential and creativity of those living on the autism spectrum, I’ve watched the Love on the Spectrum cast undo decades of misconception and misunderstanding with nothing but joy, vulnerability, and profound authenticity,” said Donnelly. “They have shown the world a fundamental truth: that autism is not something to overcome—it’s simply another way of experiencing life, love, and connection. We are so grateful to welcome Autism In Entertainment, DaniMation, and the Love on the Spectrum cast into the Make An Impact network, and to celebrate with them at MultiCon.”

Rob Kutner and Marlene Sharp of KutSharp Productions added, “These emerging comics are eager to go beyond their Love on the Spectrum personas and join the comedy big leagues. During the recent Netflix Is A Joke Fest, they got a taste of the limelight through our Laughs on the Spectrum opening night variety show at the Laugh Factory Hollywood. The upcoming MultiCon Roast experience is the next logical step in their professional development. They want to be intentionally funny, not just punchlines, per se, Dylan Aguilar pun intended.”

Exciting programming is heading your way!

Fans can also expect to get exciting insight into some of their favorite shows like The Walking Dead: Dead City. The con will feature a panel with Scott M. Gimple and Emily Kinney, who is set to come back to the world of The Walking Dead as Beth Greene in the new season. As explained at San Diego Comic-Con, Maggie Greene Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and company will get to see what their lives would be like without the outbreak, including where Beth could have been. It was will be moderated by Shar Jackson.
