* CareerResurrection: For Creator/KevinCostner. The one-two punch of ''Film/{{Waterworld}}'' and especially ''Film/ThePostman'' had knocked him off the A-list in the late '90s, and he spent over a decade in little-seen films before starring in this series, a move that won him an Emmy and put him back in the spotlight.

* CaliforniaDoubling: Although the story is set in the Appalachians in West Virginia and Kentucky, the miniseries was shot in Romania, just outside Brașov with the Carpathians standing in for the Appalachians.
* CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/KevinCostner considered playing either Jim Vance or "Bad" Frank Phillips.
-->I thought about playing Jim Vance, loved that role....I liked "Bad" Frank but it made more sense for me to play Devil Anse Hatfield. I had to put my producer’s hat: What was the right place for me to be? Not: How can I surprise people...Devil Ansemade the most sense and, I got involved in this as any role I ever had.
* DawsonCasting:
** Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield was 22 and Randell [=McCoy=] was in his 30s when the war broke out, much younger than Creator/KevinCostner and Creator/BillPaxton, respectively, were when filming.
** Despite playing his younger brother, Creator/BoydHolbrook is actually three years older than Creator/MattBarr.
* DirectedByCastmember: Creator/KevinCostner directed some scenes himself to help speed the schedule along, having a longtime working relationship with series director Kevin Reynolds
