Did you know

• While introducing Alex Kane's character, references are made to his past work, including comments about a few years of fighting terrorists around the globe for an elite military unit. This is a direct reference to one of the actor's (Phillip Winchester) previous roles in the Strike Back television series.

• While on-break during filming on the set of her unaired TV pilot Broken in Dallas, TX, actress Charity Wakefield revealed to extras (who recognized her from The Player) that she too was shocked when the show was canceled because the writers were reportedly going to eventually reveal her character Cassandra as the main villain pulling all the strings after gaining the protagonist Alex Kane (Philip Winchester)'s trust.

• Cassandra King provides valuable intel about forthcoming situations. In Greek mythology, Cassandra is also the name of a woman who could see the future. However, in the myth, she was cursed by god Apollo, so that no one would ever believe her prophecies again and therefore she could never prevent the tragedies she'd see.
