Notes and Trivia

Comparing the show to other shows about mysterious kids with supernatural abilities, cast and producers at Comic Con 2019 stated that the show is about a family unit coming together to figure out the mystery rather than have the mystery at the core of the show. Additionally, they added that they are not going to stretch out the mystery for years, so far as promising that at least one big question about Piper would be answered within the first half of the first season. The producers pitched a solid three-season plan to ABC.
- The cast agreed that with each script, they gained more confidence that the producers knew where they were going with the story and had things perfectly paced out accordingly.
On October 28, 2019, it was announced that ABC had ordered extra episodes for a few of its series, which didn't include Emergence. The same article revealed that the show was designed for 13-episode season arcs and was therefor not in contention for the extra episodes order.^[1]
