Much of the mythology, history and language has come from various Aboriginal groups and elders, who collaborated and kindly allowed some of their sacred stories and culture to be used as the basis of the series.
The Cleverman series contained an 80% Indigenous cast.
The series was renewed for a second season before the first episode had even aired.
While Uncle Jimmy and Aunty Linda are the actual uncle and aunt of Koen and Waruu, the terms "Uncle" and "Aunty" are used in Aboriginal culture to denote a person to be respected, one of the leaders and elders that keep the culture alive.
The term "Mob" used through the series is the term adopted by Aboriginal people to denote Aboriginal groups and tribes. For instance, "Which are your people?" "My mum's from the Dharrug mob, and my dad's Yorta Yorta."
