Trivia

• This is the first production in which Syp and Revoltge co-wrote every episode together. As such, it is also the first production to credit both Syp and Revoltge as creators, rather than just Syp.
• This is also the first season to feature Cole Vakassian serving as series composer, taking over from Syp and Revoltge.
• During development, this season was referred to as Guard Duty Anniversary, in reference to the remakes of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo, both subtitled Aniversary.
• After the first half premiered, the second half of this season was delayed due to Syp taking the time to learn her new editing program.
  • The delay also gave time for composer Cole Vakassian to compose additional tracks for the season.
• While an ensemble cast, Syp considers Geff Rodrigo and Sarah Daws to be the two main characters of this season.
