This is the first episode of the series to not feature Mick Rory. This leaves no character having appeared in every episode of the series.
The title is a parody of the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe poem "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
Astra turning the Legends into household objects is reminiscent of the Disney film Beauty and the Beast (1991).
This is the second episode directed by Caity Lotz. When asked what it was like coming into direct an episode and then finding out that you were going to have to also oversee the animation aspect of this particular one, she stated: "At first, I was a little worried because I was like, 'I have no idea what to do.' And then once we all got on a call with Tony Cervone, who was our animation expert over at Warner Brothers, he was just super knowledgeable, and so sweet, and awesome, and excited to play with us. So after I got to meet all of them, I was like, 'Oh, I don't have anything to worry about.' I would definitely highly recommend working with Tony. He was very nice and very open to collaborating, and patient with my lack of experience in the animation space."
