Trivia / A Million Little Things

• Follow the Leader: Critics have pointed out the uncanny thematic similarities between this show and the wildly successful This Is Us. The events of both shows kick off with the death of a major character, and track the effects of their death on their immediate family and loved ones. Both shows later unfurl and have their middle-upper class characters face identical sets of issues: alcoholism, adoption, race relations, the sudden loss of a parent, terminal illness, having an LGBT+ child, mental illness, etc.
• The Other Marty: Katherine was playued by Anne Son in the pilot but the part was recast with Grace Park taking the role when the show went into production.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: Stephanie Szostak (Delilah) is absent from most of Season 3 because she and her family do not live in Vancouver, where the series is filmed, and quarantine measures against COVID-19 make it impossible for her to travel frequently.
