Liberation wouldn't be broadcast for six months until it finally aired on Disney XD on 9 October. [1]

Production errors
- When Thorne throws Darius into the cell with the alien he calls "Mr. Wiffy", Darius' reply of "You're not wrong" is obviously dubbed, as his mouth doesn't move when he says it.
