Love Child is an Australian drama television series that follows the lives of staff and residents of the fictional Kings Cross Hospital and Stanton House in Sydney, starting in 1969 and continuing into the 1970s.
The program was created by Sarah Lambert and was first broadcast on the Nine Network on 17 February 2014. The program is based on the real-life forced adoption in Australia for which former Prime Minister Julia Gillard offered a national apology to those affected in 2013.[1] Love Child was renewed for a second series on 2 March 2014.[2] The series was renewed for a third series on 23 February 2015.[3] The series was renewed for a fourth series on 8 November 2016 at Nine's upfronts.[4]
In December 2017, Love Child was cancelled after four series.[5]
