The Show Only Made 10 Episodes in Nearly a Decade
Despite the huge fanbase, Sherlock only produced 10 episodes total across almost eight years, a fraction of what a normal weekly network show would churn out in that time. Moffat's argued that's actually part of what let the show keep coming back, since it never has to shoot on a fixed continuous schedule.
Sam Neill Got Coaching from Two Famous Irishmen
Sam Neill was born in Northern Ireland but grew up in New Zealand, so nailing a convincing 1920s Irish accent for Inspector Campbell didn't come naturally. He leaned on fellow actors James Nesbitt and Liam Neeson to help him get it right, only for the accent to later be dialled back so the show would land better with American audiences.
Machiavelli's Nod to His Own Book
Once you've won over all three faction guilds, you get a short conversation with Niccolò Machiavelli, who asks Ezio how he managed to unite them all. Ezio's answer is a single word, 'virtue', a quiet reference to the ideas Machiavelli laid out in his own famous work, The Prince.

That 26-minute Extended Look wasn't a cinematic trailer dressed up to look like gameplay, it was genuinely captured running on a PlayStation 5, giving fans the clearest indication yet of what the final game will actually look like in motion.
The Real Heist Behind the Story
The historical Henry Every is credited with pulling off what's considered the most profitable pirate raid ever recorded, ambushing a Mughal treasure convoy in the Arabian Sea in 1695 and walking away with a fortune worth tens of millions in today's money.
Kalista Fights With the Weapon That Killed Her
There's something quietly brutal about Kalista's signature weapon, the Black Spear. According to her backstory it's the very same spear Hecarim used to murder her, and rather than leave it behind she's spent her afterlife as a vengeful spirit wielding it against anyone who breaks an oath.
