"A Kind of Spark," is a powerful live-action adaptation of the award-winning novel by neurodivergent author Elle McNicoll. Set in both the present day and the 16th century, "A Kind of Spark" tells the inspirational story of Addie, an autistic girl who fights for acceptance in her community. For autistic teen Addie, every day is a challenge as she juggles school and friends with the added complexities of being neurodivergent. But when she discovers a centuries-old mystery within her town, Addie finds her voice and lets her light shine as she stands up for those who were persecuted for being different like her.

The series was produced with a commitment to building an authentic team in front of and behind the camera. Approximately 50% of the cast and crew are neurodivergent, including the series' three leads who play the Darrow sisters: Lola Blue ("Addie"), Georgia De Gidlow ("Keedie") and Caitlin Hamilton ("Nina"). The characters of "Addie" and "Keedie" are autistic while the character of "Nina" is neurotypical.

"A Kind of Spark" celebrates the differences that make us unique and enrich our lives. While the series shines a light on the everyday lives of neurodivergent individuals, it also explores the timely and timeless themes of family unity, loyalty, faith in oneself, and hope in the face of insurmountable odds.
