Began as a series of short films for MTV. Each of these films, plus a couple of full episodes, ended with Aeon Flux being killed, with continuity being "rebooted" in the following episode. The 2005 Æon Flux (2005) live action movie explained that Aeon is cloned each time she is killed. This angle was phased out over time. Plans for a fourth season were discussed, but never fulfilled.
In June 2018, MTV Studios announced a reboot of the series.
The DVD release of the series changed much of the dialogue spoken by Trevor and Aeon from the original TV release. (Mostly Trevor's monologues to himself and encounters between the two)
Scaphandre's name is French for "Diving Bell."
It has been considered that the cartoon may have been a possible influence behind South Park (1997). In that cartoon, the character Kenny McCormick is killed off in each episode, but at the beginning of the following episode, Kenny is alive, only to die again.
