WONDERFALLS (2004)
13 episodes were produced, but the
show was canceled after only four episodes had aired. Afterwards, attempts were
made to interest another network in airing the remaining nine episodes, which
would have made the show one of, if not the first, American series to change
networks midway through its first season. Ultimately, these efforts were
unsuccessful, though the entire series was later released on DVD.
Caroline Dhavernas
normally speaks with a French-Canadian accent and had to take lessons in order
to adopt a more American tone of voice for the role.
Kerry Washington was
originally cast in the role of Mahandra, but was recast after shooting her
scenes for the pilot. The role was recast (and that episode's scenes were
reshot) with Tracie Thoms.
Though the show (and the titular
shop) are supposedly set on the American side of the border, every exterior
shot of Niagara Falls is obviously taken from the Canadian side. The city of
Niagara Falls, New York is often seen across the Niagara River which divides
the province of Ontario from the state of New York.
Several writers from the show
provided voices for the muses.
Adam Scott was
originally cast in the role of Aaron Tyler.
Lee Pace would later go on to star
in another series created by Bryan Fuller, Pushing Daisies.
Caroline Dhavernas would later go
on to star in another series created by Bryan Fuller, Hannibal.
