Stories from the set

In the fourth episode of the second season, at the 65th minute, when the Patriot starts strangling his "double," the latter has an earring in his ear, then he doesn't.

The series is based on the comic book series of the same name by writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson, published from 2006 to 2012.

The appearance of Hughie Campbell in the comic was based on actor Simon Pegg from the time of the series Spaced and the film Shaun of the Dead. When Simon found out about this, he contacted artist Darick Robertson and thanked him for "immortalizing him as a comic book character," and later wrote an introduction for the collected edition of the first volume. Simon was offered the role of Hughie in the series, but he declined, eventually playing the role of Hughie's father.

The character known as Translucent is new, created specifically for the series. In the graphic novel, the last member of The Seven was a certain Jack from Jupiter.

The designer of the heroine Starlight's new costume is based on the character of clothing designer Edna from the Incredibles franchise.

Homelander visits Jonah Vogelbaum at an estate called "Parkwood Estate." It is located in Canada, in the province of Ontario. This same estate was also used as a filming location in Tamra Davis's comedy "Billy Madison" (1995), starring Adam Sandler in the lead role.

After seeing dog accessories in the car, Hughie asks Billy "Butcher" Butcher whether he has a dog, to which he gives a negative answer. In the graphic novels that served as the basis for the adaptation, Butcher does indeed have a dog named "Terror." On screen, he is even shown in flashbacks about Butcher's family life with Becca, although what happened to the dog afterward is not explained.

Every T-shirt that Hughie, played by Jack Quaid, wears features either a saying, a slogan, or an image or the name of some musical band – exactly as in the graphic novel.

The screen version contains far less sex, drugs, and profanity than the comic book storyline.

The superhero team in the series is a pathetic imitation of the Justice League from DC comics. Some superheroes in this franchise even have similar abilities and a certain physical resemblance to DC heroes — Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, and Batman. The comics also parody other superheroes who have already been mentioned in the series but have not yet appeared on screen.
