History Trivia / Wizards2020

* IKnewIt:
** Douxie being a wizard had been a long standing theory ever since his introduction in ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}'', this is confirmed as he takes the lead role in this series.
** Many fans correctly guessed that the series would explain how Morgana went from a [[FallenHero heroic sorceress]] to an [[StartOfDarkness evil witch]].
** Many believed that with ''Tales of Arcadia'' expanding as a franchise, at some point a subplot would emerge that involved curing Jim of his troll physiology in a manner beyond Merlin's abilities, as what happens in the finale.

* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: ''Wizards'' was originally scheduled for release in 2019, but missed that completely. The show's premiere was eventually delayed until August 2020.

** Aja, Eli and Vex were originally going to appear in the miniseries, as their voice actors were mentioned in the official info for it but ultimately they were absent in the final product, though their absences were likely to avoid revealing details for the upcoming film that will serve as the saga's GrandFinale.

*** WordOfGod admits that ''Wizards'' could've easily been consisted of four seasons since the story was so rich, but the creators decided to take a more "novelistic" approach, weaving between many storylines to give the audience "a delicious melange of story with all of them building to a shared climax", so they ultimately changed it into a limited series. In addition, with time travel involved, there's a lot they were able to do with hinting that cause and effect could happen out of order.

* ActorAllusion: Merlin says at one point "Everything I've done has been for the greater good!" Sounds just like [[Film/HarryPotter his old magical employer]], or alternately, the [[Film/HotFuzz the conspiracy that killed him for the "greater good"]] ("[[MemeticMutation SHUT IT!]]"). John Rhys Davies's role as Sir Gallahad, the short, stocky BoisterousBruiser of Camelot is also more likely than not a reference to his role as the short, stocky BoisterousBruiser Gimli in the ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]]'' film trilogy.

** The story was meant to be 20 episodes long, before being condensed down to 10, which explains the pacing issues.
