Clement has been anti-leprechaun since at least 2019. “Our characters will come into contact, I think with other kinds of vampires, but also other kinds of supernatural entities,” Simms told Entertainment Weekly in an interview at the time. “A lot of it is figuring out which kinds of creatures exist in this universe, which Jemaine is the ultimate arbiter of. Leprechauns do not exist in this universe. Witches do.”
