Trivia[]
- Despite being the third season, the Unsleeping City was actually filmed before season two, Escape from the Bloodkeep.
- Part of the inspiration for this season was Neil Gaiman's book Neverwhere. Brennan enjoyed the amount of inside references that only a Londoner would understand, which he felt made the book more authentic.[2]
- On September 4, 2020, it was announced that the full season would be uploaded to Dimension 20's YouTube channel with new episodes posted every Friday at 3PM EST starting on September 11th, 2020.[3]
- The episodes were also released simultaneously as audio-only podcasts through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher.
