Trivia

• A crossover episode with Katy Keene aired on Wednesday, February 5 at 8:00 PM, one day prior to the series premiere.
• This was to be Marisol Nichols and Skeet Ulrich's last season.
  • However, due to the production of the last three episodes of the fourth season being halted and moved to season 5, they will in fact be returning for the fifth season.
    • On June 12, 2020, Marisol Nichols said she would be returning to season 5, and that Hermione "will be back stronger and better than ever" and that she is "really excited in telling [Hermione's] story and that side of her."
