Trivia[]
- The series will continue the story of Two Moons Rising, after the Gang have spent a summer of magical training.[1]
- The series will likely have a further connection to the earlier seasons of Nowhere Boys, with Negative Space in the title (which had an absence in Two Moons Rising).
- Battle For Negative Space is the first season of Nowhere Boys not to start airing in November. It is also the first to not air the same year the previous form of media (either the last season or the film) ended, and the only series to have each episode aired on consecutive days.
