• Although parts of the miniseries have been dramatized or fictionalized for the show, other elements are frame-for-frame or word-for-word re-enactments of what happened, down to minute details. Examples include the video Gypsy shot at the hotel the night of the murder (when Nick is eating brownies) and her initial questioning scene (taken from CCTV in the interrogation room).
• For this role, .Joey King shaved her head for the fourth time.
• The real Gypsy Rose Blanchard was reportedly impressed with Joey King's portrayal of her but unimpressed with the series overall.
