Amazon doesn’t see a future for As We See It.
The retail giant/streamer has opted to cancel the coming-of-age comedy about three 20-something roommates on the autism spectrum after one season. Reps for Amazon declined to comment on the decision.
The series hailed from Friday Night Lights and Parenthood creator Jason Katims and explored a subject that’s close to his heart as his son — who also inspired a character on Parenthood — is autistic. Rick Glassman, Sue Ann Pien and Albert Rutecki, who are all on the spectrum, starred as the three central roommates, while Sosie Bacon played their aide. Joe Mantegna also starred.
Katims, who penned the pilot, served as showrunner and exec produced alongside his True Jack topper Jeni Mulein and Dana Stern. The half-hour comedic drama was based on the Israeli format On the Spectrum, created by Dana Idisis and Yuval Shafferman.

Get used to Rick Glassman’s name: you’ll be hearing a lot more of it as his career continues to ascend. The comic—and host of the Take Your Shoes Off podcast—plays a starring role as Jack in Prime Video’s As We See It, from creator Jason Katims. The show follows a group of three Angeleno roommates living with autism as they attempt to navigate the world. And Katims, whose own son has Asperger’s syndrome, was determined that the show be cast authentically, with actors living on the spectrum given the lead roles. Sue Ann Pien and Albert Rutecki round out the lead cast as Jack’s roommates, while Sosie Bacon plays the group’s neurotypical live-in aide and Joe Mantegna plays Jack’s dad.

For Cami Patton, “As Wee See It” was the job of a lifetime. Based on the Israeli series “On the Spectrum” and adapted by Jason Katims, the Amazon Prime Video series follows three young adults — Jack (Rick Glassman), Vivian (Sue Ann Pien) and Harrison (Albert Rutecki) — who are on the autism spectrum navigating their lives. Katims, whose son is autistic, wanted to cast neurodiverse actors in the lead roles and Patton was the first person he called once the show was greenlit.
“We have a few things in common in our personal lives so he knew it was something that would be near and dear to me and the idea that he already gotten the studio to Ok us — really just focusing in the beginning on looking for neurodiverse talent was huge,” Patton tells Gold Derby at our Meet the Experts: Casting Directors panel (watch the exclusive video interivew above...

Amazon Prime Video‘s new dramedy TV series “As We See It,” which had its eight-episode debut season drop in January, follows three 20-something roommates on the autism spectrum as they strive to navigate the highs and lows of life in a world that eludes them. The series hits close to home for creator/showrunner Jason Katims, as he himself has a son in his twenties who is on the spectrum, living independently and going through some of the same struggles as the characters on the show. “There’s less that you hear, read and know about autism in adulthood than you do [about it] in childhood and adolescence,” Katims tells Gold Derby as he discusses the intention behind creating the series (watch the exclusive video interview above).

Based on the Israeli series “On the Spectrum” and created by Emmy winner Jason Katims, Amazon Prime’s dramedy “As We See It” follows three 20-something roommates on the autism spectrum as they strive to navigate the highs and lows of life in a world that eludes them.

"As We See It" star Sue Ann Pien's early years as someone on the autism spectrum had a lot of influence on her decision to pursue acting. In a recent interview with "People," the 42-year-old actor explains that she often would "mask" or "camouflage" characteristics about herself that were not deemed "socially acceptable."
"I was taught from a very young age to act my way through life. I had a really strong, uncanny ability to pick up languages and different accents and I would just mimic. I would watch how people walk and it was like character study," Pien recalls. "And then I was like, I love this, I'm doing it anyway, why not do it professionally?"
The actor, ironically enough, was able to stop performing when she was cast on the Amazon Prime Video series as Violet, an autistic woman navigating adulthood and dating. "For so many aspects of Violet,...

With “As We See It,” creator Jason Katims has clear objectives: to let people on the autism spectrum be at the centers of their own stories, and to tell those stories with the kind of care they’re otherwise rarely afforded on TV. Whereas a comedy like Josh Thomas’ “Everything’s Going to Be Okay” — which also gave people with autism the spotlight — largely focused on the intersection between the absurd and sublime, . It’s a lot to ask of a show to handle all the above with both sensitivity and a clear eye for narrative, but Katims and company continually find a way to thread this particularly tricky needle.
