  • California Doubling: While evidently set in West Germany, the series was shot mostly in Brandenburg in East Germany, near one of Germany's major film studios. The other scenes were filmed in Berlin, and due to Berlin being a city state, Winden can't be located there either.
  • Meaningful Release Date:
    • Season 2 was released on June 21st, 2019, the day when the show's timeline began, the day of Michael's suicide.
    • Season 3 was released on June 27th, 2020, which in the show is the date of the Apocalypse in the first timeline.
  • Real-Life Relative:
    • Old and adult Unknown are played by real-life father and son Hans Diehl and Jakob Diehl (who are father and brother to August Diehl, respectively).
    • Pablo Striebeck (Young Peter) is the son of Stephan Kampwirth (Adult Peter).
  • Real Song Theme Tune: The show uses "Goodbye" by Apparat as its opening theme. It was previously known for being used in Breaking Bad's season 4 finale.
  • Separated-at-Birth Casting: Some of the Time Shifted Actors playing younger and older versions of the same characters very strongly resemble each other. For example, Winfried Glatzeder is incredibly convincing as an older Oliver Masucci due to their similar cheekbones and facial structure, while Béla Gabor Lenz is instantly recognizable as the younger self of Peter Benedict.
