The term "harsh realm" originates from the "grunge speak" hoax of 1992, in which it meant 'bummer'.
The show was loosely based on a comic book by James D. Hudnall and Andrew Paquette. When the creators noticed the credits read "Created by Chris Carter", they sued Fox to get properly credited. The credits were changed to read "Inspired by the Harsh Realm comic book series, Created by James D. Hudnall and Andrew Paquette, Published by Harris Publications, Inc."
The series was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
