17	* TheOtherDarrin:
18	** Original English:
19	*** In the second season, Yosemite Sam is voiced by Creator/FredTatasciore instead of Creator/MauriceLaMarche. [[note]]He quit the role due to Sam’s voice hurting his throat. Ironically, this is the same reason Creator/MelBlanc handed the role over to Creator/JoeAlaskey in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.[[/note]]

21	*** Due to Creator/JuneForay's unfortunate passing, Granny and Witch Hazel are voiced by Creator/CandiMilo.

31	*** From his second appearance onward, Daffy started being voiced by Igor Cruz. He has voiced him ever since.
32	*** Due to Sylvia Garcel's retirement from dubbing in 2015, Irene Jimenez voices Granny.
33	* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/MatthewMercer, notable for playing badass characters in anime and video games, plays the TooDumbToLive Bigfoot. Next time you hear his voice, remember that's [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]], [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Leon S. Kennedy]], [[Anime/AttackOnTitan Levi Ackerman]], [[VideoGame/Persona4 Kanji Tatsumi]], [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Jotaro Kujo]], and [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} McCree]] talking.
34	* PostReleaseRetitle: ''Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production'' was renamed ''New Looney Tunes'' starting from season 2, to embrace how the series stopped having Bugs Bunny as the only main character. In some countries, [[MarketBasedTitle the new title was retroactively given to season 1 in reruns]]; this is also the case on Creator/HBOMax.
35	* RoleReprise:
36	** Creator/JeffBergman once again reprises WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd, WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn, and WesternAnimation/{{Sylvester\|TheCatAndTweetyBird}}.
37	** Creator/MauriceLaMarche returns as WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam. (But only for the ''Wabbit'' era of the series. In ''New Looney Tunes'', Creator/FredTatasciore [[TheOtherDarrin takes over this role.]])
38	** In addition to new character Squeaks, Creator/DeeBradleyBaker voices WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, a role he hasn't played since ''Film/SpaceJam.''
39	** Creator/{{Jim Cummings\|1952}} once again reprises the role of Taz.

42	** Creator/JohnKassir reprises the role of Pete Puma.
43	** Creator/KathSoucie finally returns to the role of WesternAnimation/LolaBunny, having previously been replaced by Creator/KristenWiig for ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow''. She also returns as Sniffles, previously voicing her on ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries''
44	** Creator/LuisAlfonsoMendoza reprised his role as Daffy Duck from Duck Dodgers. [[TheOtherDarrin But only in the character's first appearance]].
45	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The show was supposed to air on Boomerang, a channel not everyone has, but Cartoon Network made the decision to air it last minute after backlash from viewers who didn't get the channel. This event was dubbed as a "sneak preview", but ratings were high enough for Cartoon Network to continue airing it afterwards. The show had a fairly nice 5PM timeslot...until Cartoon Network began to air new episodes in random timeslots (usually when the target demographic was at school) before dropping new episodes to Boomerang altogether. These episodes would later air on Cartoon Network in February 2016 but lukewarm ratings due to a lack of advertising caused it to get removed again [[note]]Along with the other shows on the block ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Bunnicula}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow2014''[[/note]]. Eight of the episodes that didn't air were eventually released on DVD and digital platforms along with the rest of the first half of the first season. The second half wouldn't be released in any form in the US until ''December 2017'' when they were released on the Boomerang streaming service, long after they had premiered in other countries.
46	** For some reason, Boomerang tends to premiere episodes (whether they are TV premieres or US premieres) during ''watershed'' hours.
47	** Cartoon Network brought the show back to their schedule in September 2019... at 10AM on weekdays where it's target audience is at school. Not only that, but they removed it after only a month of airing.
48	* ShortRunInPeru: As with Boomerang original productions, most episodes have aired first overseas. In fact, this show took almost '''three whole years''' just to finish its first season.
49	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
50	** One proposed gag for an episode would have had Bugs humming "We're in the Money", a staple music cue from the old Looney Tunes. Unfortunately, due to music rights and royalty issues with the song now, the gag wasn't allowed to be used.
51	** [[https://aricatuesday.tumblr.com/post/132977217034/some-designs-i-did-for-claudette-on-wabbit-she The original design for Claudette]] was significantly cuter and less goofy.
52	** According to director Erik Kuska, Wabbit initially started a theatrical short pitch to reintroduce Bugs Bunny to modern audiences. With a PG-13 rating in mind, the short focused on Bugs having a banjo-playing afternoon in the park with Squeaks, until the Grim Rabbit appears to claim Bugs' life. After outwitting the Reaper until his sudden death, Bugs is told he's being sentenced to Hell for his reprehensible past behavior in theatrical shorts. This includes his infamous {{Blackface}} in ''WesternAnimation/AnyBondsToday'' Luckily for Bugs, the bureaucratic Devil reveals that he preemptively banned the Wabbit's presence from damnation, due to Bugs being so annoying. As a result of brainstorming additional stories with this Bugs-focused plot, Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation thought it would be better served as a LighterAndSofter new television series instead. While the short was loosely adapted into the episode "The Grim Rabbit" in this series, the original edgier animatic is [[https://vimeo.com/125736213 archived]] by Kuska himself.
53	---> '''Erik Kuska''': Feature theatrical short to re-introduce Bugs Bunny, I wrote and directed with the help of two board guys, Jason Plapp and David Au. We generated so many story lines and gags, WB decided to repurpose this as a tv show pitch, and soon 'Wabbit' was born. Originally intended for a PG-13 audience, this short was considerably changed to fit the Y7 rating. It was also where new characters Squeaks the Squirrel and the Grim Rabbit originated.
