Even though Nure is presented as a very timid, frightened and accident-prone character, actor Sebastian Warholm was anything but that. He was quite vocal and demanding on the set, even at just nine years old. Director Atle Knudsen was quoted by the newspaper Aftenposten as saying that Warholm amazed him by asking for dialogue rewrites, "because Nure would never say this", and also retakes, when he wasn't entirely happy with his own performance. Warholm confirmed that he used to be very talkative and even liked to clown around.
The Norwegian village of Svingen (meaning 'the bend' in English) as it is shown in the series does not exist. The series was shot on location in Sørkedalen, part of the Oslo municipality.
