* StarMakingRole: For Creator/MadsMikkelsen. Though he's well-known in his native Denmark, his international movies (''Film/KingArthur2004'', ''[[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Casino Royale]]'' and ''[[Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010 Clash of the Titans]]'') prior to the series didn't put him much on the spotlight. It's in only in this series where he earned a lot of attention which got him into lucrative franchises like the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', Star Wars with ''Film/RogueOne'', to TheOtherDarrin the role of Grindelwald in the upcoming ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore'', and as the villain Jürgen Voller in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny''. There's also Creator/HideoKojima's ''VideoGame/DeathStranding'' game.

* OneTakeWonder: At one point Hannibal Lecter is seen performing an elaborate cooking trick where he throws an egg in the air, cracks it over the narrow edge of a spatula as it falls and catches the yolk inside a small bowl. The crew were convinced the trick was too difficult and prepared several dozen eggs as well as three chefs to act as [[TalentDouble hand doubles]]. Creator/MadsMikkelsen performed the trick perfectly on the first take with no rehearsals. Turns out Mikkelsen was a juggler in his youth which he credited for being able to pull off the trick.

** NBC was very skittish about including homosexual material when the show got to Margot Verger, leading to the show being bafflingly oblique about her orientation. A line from the books that used the euphemism "muff-diving" wasn't allowed because it referenced lesbian oral sex, so the writers made do with [[UnusualEuphemism "button-stitching"]]. Though come Season 3, depictions of her in an open lesbian relationship [[spoiler: with Alana]], including a sex scene showing [[{{Fanservice}} quite a lot of skin]], were allowed.
