- Acting for Two: In season 4, Ed Speelers portrays both the real Rhys Montrose and the evil Rhys persona whom Joe manifests to satiate his murderous urges as the Eat-The-Rich killer.
- All There in the Script: Joe's three blind dates in "Ex-istential Crisis" are, in order of appearance: Luna, Haley and Moira, played by Highdee Kuan, JJ Nolan and Ivy Beech respectively.
- Cast the Runner-Up: Victoria Pedretti was in the running for the role of Beck, but lost it to Elizabeth Lail. Following her own breakout in The Haunting of Hill House (2018), Pedretti was then cast as Joe's next girlfriend, Love. The same applied to Dylan Arnold, who also auditioned for the roles Joe and Forty, which were taken over by Penn Badgley and James Scully respectively, and he would later be cast as Theo in the third season.
- Channel Hop: Initially released by Lifetime in the United States and Netflix internationally, it moved to Netflix entirely after Lifetime cancelled the series.
- Creator's Pest: Humorously, Penn Badgley has gone on record as utterly despising Joe, almost as much as he despises the legion of women and fangirls who are willing to forgive his crimes or think he's actually a good person.
- Dawson Casting: Theo Engler, a 19-year-old college student, is played by Dylan Arnold who was 27 years old when the third season was released (in fact his actor is a year older than Victoria Pedretti, whose character Love is at least in her late-20s).
- Disabled Character, Disabled Actor:
- Daniel Durant plays Love's deaf husband James, who's deaf like him (shown in her flashbacks).
- Dante's actor, Ben Mehl, was born with Stargardt's disease and is legally blind.
- Overtook the Manga: Season three skips the third book in the series, You Love Me, entirely because it was released after development on the new season had already begun.
- Production Posse:
- James Scully (Forty) and Melanie Fields (Sunrise) co-starred in Heathers (2018).
- Tilly Keeper and Amy Leigh Hickman co-starred in the short film True Colors.
- Promoted Fangirl: Tilly Keeper mentions being a fan of the show before being cast.
- Queer Character, Queer Actor:
- Shay Mitchell has said she's attracted to people based on a specific personality, regardless of their gender. In 2022, she appeared on TikTok with a video that indicated she's bisexual. She played Peach, who's either bi or a lesbian.
- Sherry, along with Cary, is implied to have "swinging" nights with other couples where they sleep both with men and women. Shalita Grant, who plays Sherry, is a lesbian in real life.
- Forty is stated by his actor, the openly gay James Scully, to be sexually fluid.
- Queer actress Melanie Field plays Sunrise, who's a lesbian.
- Romance on the Set:
- Victoria Pedretti and Dylan Arnold, whose characters have an affair with each other in the show, are dating in real life.
- James Scully admitted to being infatuated with Penn Badgley while filming Season 2.
- Star-Making Role: For Jenna Ortega as Ellie, who went on to star in high-profile roles after this one.
- Those Two Actors: James Scully and Melanie Field starred in Heathers (2018) as J.D. and Heather Chandler respectively.
- Vindicated by Reruns: The show, while well-received, was relatively unknown when it aired on Lifetime but soon skyrocketed in popularity after it was made available on Netflix.
- What Could Have Been:
- Victoria Pedretti initially auditioned for the role of Beck.
- Dylan Arnold previously auditioned for Joe and Forty before being cast for Theo.
- Mr. Mooney was meant to appear in Season 3's flashbacks, but this was tragically averted due to Mark Blum's death.
- Jenna Ortega was supposed to return in Season 4, but was too occupied with filming for Wednesday.
- Word of Saint Paul: James Scully believes that his character, Forty, is sexually fluid.
- Word of Gay: According to his actor, Forty is sexually fluid.
