- “The inspiration for Trollhunters comes from a very strange place. When I was a kid, I actually traversed my city through the sewers. It was me and a few friends with flashlights and we went in and marveled at the architecture underneath the city. Huge, sort of catacomb-like places and tunnels, and I just kept thinking, you know, maybe the fairy creatures, the trolls, the gnomes, the goblins, they all went underground when man took over, and created cities, and you could find one down here. And that stayed with me for many, many decades until finally it came to the series.”
