While goodbyes are never easy, the Hargreeves’ hijinks will live in our hearts forever. Since you’re a superfan, we know you devoured those behind-the-scenes photos of the cast and crew that accompanied the very last end credits of the Steve Blackman series. “Everybody contributed them,” Robert Sheehan, who plays the psychedelic Klaus, tells Tudum. “I’ll be honest, maybe this makes me an egomaniac, but when the ones I contributed to the last little montage pop up, I go, ‘Ah!’ It’s lovely seeing them all. It’s like a big old scrapbook at the end.”
But the fun doesn’t end there — and thankfully, the photos don’t either. To celebrate our favorite siblings, we’ve got a special treat for all you Brellies out there. We’ve compiled even more never-before-seen pics to help ease the angst from the series’ ending. (And there’s a lot of them!) Consider this a gift to you, the most devoted Brellie in any timeline.
Keep the big scrapbook energy going by flipping through the briefcase full of behind-the-scenes photos below.
A really beautiful ending
“I couldn’t have thought of a better way to stick the landing,” Aidan Gallagher, who plays time-hopping Five, tells Tudum about the end montage. “When I first saw that, I was just overwhelmed with emotions, sitting at home, reflecting on all the years that we’ve been making the show. You get this sort of euphoric sense of gratitude for everything. It’s a really beautiful ending.”






On-set antics
The Brellies constantly pranked each other throughout the series, but backstage the cast also kept the sibling rivalry vibe alive. “What you see on-screen is strengthened by our off-screen presence,” says Gallagher. “The ribbing of each other, and this loving knowledge of everything that we’ve been through as a cast, that definitely helps bring the characters to life.”
Scene stealers
“I will miss the cast and everyone involved,” says Ritu Arya, who plays Lila Pitts, Diego’s zany wife who has the ability to mimic others’ powers. “It’s been just such a beautiful group of people. Not just the cast, but all the crew, all the creators, all the fans. It’s made this experience unbelievable.” She adds she was “an absolute wreck” watching the end credits. “It was like a water tap out of my eyes.”

Family fun
Between takes, the actors often struggled to keep a straight face. “The cast, our crew, they are really family,” says Justin H. Min, who plays the angsty, tentacled Ben. “I will miss being on set with them, laughing with them all those times. It’s like I grew up on the show, and to say goodbye to it is really heartbreaking, but I’m also grateful that we got this experience.”

Candid camera
During downtime, the cast snapped moments for their socials. For David Castañeda, who plays the knife-throwing Diego, seeing early on-set photos brought up a lot of feelings. “I wanted to start crying,” he says. “It was like memory lane. We were so young. The growth between [then] and today is emotional. I’ve learned so much from the people around me, the crew, the cast, the directors, the writers, [and] the showrunner, Steve. It was sort of like going to school every day.”
Face time
Turning the cast into superheroes, aliens, and villains was the job of the hardworking crew, from the hair and makeup department to VFX and beyond. “It’s not just the faces that you see on camera,” says Emmy Raver-Lampman, who plays the rumor-whispering Allison. “There’s thousands of people in Toronto, in Los Angeles, all over the world, that make this show possible so that people can enjoy it on Netflix. We wouldn’t have the fans that we have without all of those people that helped us make this show. It’s incredible.”

That’s a wrap.
The Brellies traveled throughout time and space, from the Hargreeves’ mansion and 1963 Dallas to Hotel Oblivion and beyond. While the journey through this timeline may be over for the cast and crew, their memories will live on. “Yes, I really just feel so lucky and such gratitude that we got to have four seasons,” says Elliot Page, who plays Viktor, potentially the most powerful of the siblings. “I had the privilege of playing this incredible role and getting to connect with fans, and it’s really nice.”
For Tom Hopper, who plays Luther, the half-gorilla spaceman, the cast really have “become a group of siblings” over the past seven years and four seasons. “The bit that I got most emotional about, actually — more than the watching of the show — was seeing the journey we’ve been on behind the screen [in these photos],” he says.
