One of the show's most watched episode was when Da Vinci was accused of sodomy by one of his student. Because of this sequence, talks regarding real Da Vinci's sexual preference were brought up. TheWrap asked if the show will again explore such personality of the protagonist in season 2, show creator David S. Goyer said:

"We're not backing away from it and we will get back to it should we go into another season," he explained.

"It was just that that was part of the plot of the show in [the first season's] Episodes 4, 5 and 6. It just doesn't apply to this plotline. We don't want to throw it in gratuitously... The sodomy trial was something that happened during the year that our show was taking place. It felt disingenuous not to do it."

Goyer then added that he is sure that the real life Da Vinci is indeed bisexual.
