Trivia

Hannah Waddingham recorded her narration between Ted Lasso seasons while still in Rebecca Welton's power suits mentally.

Memorable

The 'I got caught by a fisherman's net' sequence was animated by the same team behind Love, Death + Robots' fish episode — wildly different energy, same wet textures.
