 * James Marsters has stated he would like to return as John Hart for the new series.

 * Daniel Fienberg indicated on Twitter that "The New World" will be the overall title for Series 4. He also jokingly referred to the series as "Gates of Heaven", "Badlands", and "The Thin Red Line", based on the titles of Terrence Malick movies, as "The New World" is also the title of a Terrence Malick movie. He later apologized for the confusion.
