What's left behind the scenes

In the first scene with Dr. Riley, while she is giving her speech, a fresco by Diego Rivera from the Detroit Institute of Arts is shown in the background.
Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Noah Bean, and Xander Berkeley previously starred together in the popular series Nikita (2010).
At the end of the film, Cole is wearing a tiger-print shirt, which can also be seen in the 3rd episode of the series titled "The Cassandra Complex."
The series, like the film of the same name, is based on the short film The Runaway (1962), which also influenced the creation of films such as The Terminator (1984) and The Jacket (2005).
The series is based on the film of the same name starring Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, and Madeleine Stowe.
Bruce Willis discussed appearing in a cameo role, but it never happened.
The psychiatric hospital where Jennifer ends up is called the J.D. Peoples Psychiatric Treatment Center, named after Janet and David Peoples, the screenwriters of the film 12 Monkeys.
When Jennifer Goines appears in the shelter, she is wearing the same yellow sweater that Brad Pitt's character wore in the movie, except that in the series, his character has become a woman.
Florida and Key West are mentioned several times in the series, most likely as a reference to the film of the same name, in which the setting played an important role.
