The show is set in 1933, but there is a scene featuring Anya Chalotra as Lily Marbury where she is singing the song “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” which wasn’t released until 1939. Director Alex Gabassi stated that the song choice was a simple mistake. Chalotra chose the song herself after Gabassi struggled to find a song he could get permission to use.
