Details are still largely unknown about this series, though it's been established that it ''won't'' focus on the "urban" Inhuman characters featured on its sister show ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', but will instead focus on Black Bolt and the Inhuman royal family.

!!''The Inhumans'' provides examples of the:

* EarlyBirdCameo: Though not premiering until 2017, ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' season two established the existence of Inhumans and set up their mythology, but the only characters who've shown up to date (like ComicBook/DaisyJohnson) are the ones born on Earth after being abandoned by the Kree centuries ago.
* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: Since Black Bolt has a destructive voice, he can't speak at any time.
* {{Lunarians}}: The Inhuman royal family lives on the moon.
* RaceLift: Karnak and Gorgon, who are white in the comics, are played by Creator/KenLeung (Chinese-American) and Eme Ikwuakor (Nigerian-American). Triton is also played by Asian-American martial artist Mike Moh, but it's less noticeable since despite being Black Bolt's cousin, Triton's skin is ''green'' in the comics.
* ReCut: The first two episodes will feature new scenes when they are broadcast on television.
* RedOniBlueOni: Black Bolt's cousins are described as such; fight-happy Gorgon as the red and Triton, calm under pressure, being the blue.
