Trivia / The Mysterious Benedict Society

• Actor-Shared Background: In a brief shot of Constance’s paperwork in the TV series' second episode, it’s seen that she’s from Russia, like her actress Marta Kessler.
• Dawson Casting: Invoked with MaameYaa Boafo, Rhonda's actress. In Episode One, she pretends to be a kid so she can conduct a Secret Test of Character on prospective Society members, like in the books. In real life, she's in her thirties (specific age publicly unknown).
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Disney+ slated the entire streaming series for removal from the service in May 2023, with no announcement of it being licensed to any other service or of any physical release forthcoming.
• The Other Darrin: Eric Pollins is the narrator of the audiobook of The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages, making him this for all of the returning characters in the series. The previous installments in the franchise, including the prequel book The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict, were all read by Del Roy, who passed away in 2014.
• Playing Against Type: Tony Hale, who typically plays some mixture of Butt-Monkey and Cloud Cuckoo Lander, acquits himself quite well as evil Curtain.
• Playing with Character Type: As mentioned above, Cloud Cuckoo Lander is one of Tony Hale's most common character types. Mr. Benedict is highly eccentric, but also a noble and heroic genius.
