On October 24 2020, [[https://twitter.com/samfennah/status/1320101673935699969?s=21 Sam Fennah announced]] he will be rebooting ''Satellite City'' into a series called ''First Night'', which will be the same idea as the original series, but with all of the characters from the upcoming books as well as new models, voice actors, and a team to help him film as opposed to continuing to film all on his own.

''Satellite City'' is a [[RogerRabbitEffect live-action/CGI]] series created by and starring Sam Fennah. The first episode can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDoPTQThGI0 here]]; be warned -- it may be considered too dark in subject matter for children. (Not to mention that some of the characters cuss a lot.) In addition to ''Satellite City'', Fennah is also currently writing a series of books called ''Literature/TheAugustFew'' that take place in the same universe, the first of these, ''Amygdala'', was released on February 23, 2023. ''Satellite City'' has effectively been labeled by Sam as non-canon, essentially claiming that ''The August Few'' is a ContinuityReboot.

* AllThereInTheManual: The [[https://www.satellitelore.com/ lore website]] is a treasure trove of info about the story, characters, and world that hasn't yet been significantly explained or mentioned in the series proper, including such interesting tidbits as Helgan being Ludwig's first relationship, Wexle being the one who broke Shuck's horn, or that Felicity once rescued Fleischer from slavery and imprisonment after he apparently committed a "[[NoodleIncident serious crime]]".

* BadassBaritone: Ludwig easily has the deepest voice of any of the Kivouachians, and he's [[LargeAndInCharge the big man in the house.]]

* LosingYourHead: Kivouachians can survive being decapitated, which is both fortunate and unfortunate for everyone that Lucy loves playing with (i.e. Winifred and Wexle). It's not clear whether the head actually survives while detached or if the body simply [[HealingFactor grows a new one]], although one of Sullivan's comments implies the former.

* AerithAndBob: Kivouackian names range from the mundane (Lucy, Felicity, Dorothy, Ed) to the foreign but not unheard-of (Ludwig, Fleischer, Fontaine) to some that ''nobody'' has (Wexle, Helgan, Locket, Shale, Yeshua, [[spoiler:and Mandus]]).

* CuteMonsterGirl: Pretty much every humanoid female Kivouachian [[spoiler:barring Locket]] in the series thus far. Helgan, aside from being [[StatuesqueStunner twenty feet tall]] and a [[[[Jerkass]] bit of a bitch]], is much less scary-looking than the other Kivouachians, being mostly just [[StatuesqueStunner enormous]] and [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation pink]]. Played with regarding Wexle, she actually ''looks'' [[BlackEyesOfEvil pretty]] [[CombatTentacles sinister]] and creepy until you [[NiceGirl get to know her.]] Luna and Maargit also fit this category to an absolute T.

* BerserkButton: Lucy does ''not'' like [[ArmorPiercingSlap being slapped.]]
** Ludwig really, really, really doesn't like it when he catches the other Kivouackians practicing "[[PunyEarthling simian]]" traditions.
** Winnifred ''seriously'' HatesBeingTouched.

* AerithAndBob: Kivouackian names range from the the mundane (Lucy, Felicity, Dorothy, Ed) to the foreign but not unheard-of (Ludwig, Fleischer, Fontaine) to some that ''nobody'' has (Wexle, Helgan, Locket, Shale, [[AwesomeMcCoolname Yeshua]], [[spoiler:Mandus]]).

* ALoveToDismember: Lucy apparently ''loves'' cutting cute girls' heads off and playing with their bodies. She repeatedly states her desire to do this to Hyzenthlay and Winifred, and she's [[NoodleIncident apparently done this before]] to Wexle.
-->'''Sullivan:''' Lucy, do you know what [[ILoveTheDead necrophilia]] is?

* LargeAndInCharge: Ludwig is nine foot six according to WordofGod (he fills a normal doorway) and holds a lot of power in the Kivouachian settlement system; Helgan is even taller, and serves as Ludwig's substitute in the Kivouachian chain of command while he's away. Sullivan accurately describes her as the only one "who makes Ludwig look like a fuckin' plush toy." [[spoiler:And when [[HumanoidAbomination Locket]] first appears, she [[UpToEleven dwarfs both of them]], and is about [[LeanAndMean half as wide.]]]]

** Ludwig's ''[[UpToEleven entire body]]'' appears to be covered in long, yawning, mouth-like-slits filled with what look partly like teeth and partly like spines or ''[[BodyHorror ribs]]''.
** Ed has a GlasgowGrin that stretches all the way down his ''[[UpToEleven neck]]'' and [[BodyHorror across the rest of his body.]]

** In one episode, Sullivan shows up wearing a [[NiceHat top hat]] that he [[ComedicSociopathy stole from a child]] who he describes as having a forehead like WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Downplayed, but there's six regular cast members (the Kivouachians and Sullivan) to begin with, [[EnsembleCast all of whom get fairly equal screen time]], plus Ludwig and his entourage (Wexle and Fontaine) for a total of ''nine'' main characters, with new ones popping up on a regular basis, including some who've only been mentioned but not appeared in the flesh.

* MismatchedEyes: Lucy Lacemaker. Her right eye is orange; the sclera around it, blood-red. [[spoiler:A picture on the lore website strongly implies that it was [[EyeScream badly damaged]] in a way that had something to do with [[TheDreaded Mandus]].]]

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: [[spoiler:Winifred was once a prideful and arrogant Kivouackian noble, but after an encounter with [[TheDreaded Mandus]], he did ''something'' to her that left her mute, blind, and a meek shadow of herself, [[SelfHarm constantly clawing at her own wounds.]]]]

* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Lucy, for a given value of "cartoon". She wears only a hat and cravat; other quadrupedal Kivouachians Sullivan interacts with do without, while bipedal ones wear more conventional clothing.

* KillItWithFire: Fire [[WeaksauceWeakness is the only thing that can stop a Kivoauchian from regenerating]], and, by extension, [[FinalDeath the only thing that can permanently do one in]].

* RealityEnsues: A momentary gag in "The Journey So Far" demonstrates the problems with having creatures of the Kivouackians' size in a house built for humans when Winifred's antler almost gets caught on the chandelier.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: While watching the moon rise overhead with Shuck, Lucy, of all people, has an epiphany of sorts, reflecting on the fact that since the Kivouackians don't die of natural causes and [[TimeAbyss live for millennia]], life is much less meaningful to them than it is to the mortals who only live about 90 years at best. It's actually quite moving.
