Notes[]
- First Netflix anime series to be dubbed at Bang Zoom! Entertainment.
- Starting with Wrath of the Gods the series itself would become a Unionized dub production, due to the appearance of Crispin Freeman. This makes it the third anime series dubbed at Bang Zoom! to transition from a non-union dub to a Unionized dub production after Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga and Sword Art Online: Alicization.
- Katie Leigh replaces Philece Sampler as Mead in Season 5 due to the latter's passing in 2021.
- Deborah Gatton replaces Marieve Herington as Vivian in Season 5 despite the fact the later seasons since Season 4 (Wrath of the Gods) became unionized.
