The characters refer to Arcadia as a mysterious, place linked to Evergreen. In The X-Files episode 'Arcadia', agents Mulder and Scully are undercover in a controlled utopic community much like Evergreen. Coincidentally, Mark Snow who composed and performed all The X-Files music also composed the music for this iteration of The Twilight Zone.
The unruly teens are scared to be sent to Arcadia. Amber Tamblyn (Jenna Winslow) later played the title character Joan Girardi, who lived in the fictional city Arcadia, Maryland, in Joan of Arcadia (2003).
Jenna Winslow was born in 1986.
The Winslows's new address is on Maple Street. This is an homage to 'The Monsters are Due on Maple Street' from the classic "Twilight Zone" series. The story itself would later be remade into 'The Monsters are On Maple Street' in this incarnation.
