David Oakes who plays Cesare's younger brother Juan is in fact two years older than François Arnaud who plays Cesare.

The show was originally going to have four seasons, but when Neil Jordan thought about doing the fourth season, he didn't have the energy or even story to do ten episodes. Instead of that, he said Showtime that he could wrap up everything in a two-hour TV-Movie. He even wrote the screenplay, but the network refused, arguing it was too expensive and the season 3 ending worked as a series finale.

Steven Berkoff previously played the Florentine preacher Girolamo Savonarola in A Season of Giants (1990).

Caterina Sforza's eldest son's name was Ottaviano, not Benito. None of her sons were named Benito; in fact, Benito is not even an Italian name, but Spanish. The most prominent Italian named Benito, Benito Mussolini, was named after Mexican president Benito Juarez.
