Differences

 * The series shifts from the light-hearted premise of the original series to one more akin to darker projects, dealing with themes like gun violence, drug use, sexual themes and racial discrimination, aside from the use of gore and the characters often resorting to strong language.
 * Paris is notably grittier and more akin to real life, filled with problems like corruption in both politics and the police, high crime rates, terrorism, drug abuse, racism/xenophobia, homeless people, sexual themes like infedelity, prostitution and sexual abuse and gender themes like sexism and LGBT discrimination.
 * Marinette secretly smokes due to the stress caused by being a hero.
 * Adrien is far more cynical, being similar to what he was initially planned to be.
 * Marinette has a strong dislike of Adrien due to his cold nature, yet she often flirts with Cat Noir.
 * Alya is secretly working for Hawk Moth at the exchange of being Paris' only "hero".
 * Alix is a closeted lesbian.
 * André is notably corrupt.

Trivia

 * The author revealed that the idea for the series was due to Paris as depicted by the series not corresponding to Paris in real life as she finds the city as corrupt and twisted as American cities like Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore and even New York City, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. and she thought that it could be fun reimagining the series in a darker take inspired by Marvel Comics and DC Comics set in a more realistic Paris.
 * The series mixes adaptations of previous episodes and original stories.
