Spoilers
The series was confirmed in the final chapter of The Freshman, Book 4 , and on the Choices Book Club, as the daily topic was: "What are you looking forward to the most in The Sophomore ?"
On July 13, 2017, PB released a blog about this book.[1]
There was a three-week hiatus between Chapter 14 and Chapter 15 , for the release of The Sophomore: Hartfeld Horror Story . Upon the special's completion, The Sophomore continued its progression.
Limetown Studios designed all of the book covers of The Freshman series.[2]
More specifically, the Limetown Studios artists that worked on the book covers are named Gus Lima (Drawing), and Daniel Bogni and Amanda Duarte (Painting).[3] [4]
Trivia

The chapter titles originate from popular songs released throughout the 1990’s, a trend that would be continued for the remainder of the The Sophomore series, and all other remaining books.

In Chapter 4 , Becca mentions her mom and sister moved to an apartment in Northbridge , the main setting of the Hero series. This strengthens the idea that all of Choices' series take place in one common universe.
In Chapter 9 , Zig's last name is revealed to be Ortega, thereby making Zig a Hispanic character.
In a premium scene of Chapter 10 , Aaron and Zig give names to some animals. The names are Chelsa, Saran, Owen and Maya. Aaron also buys a plush goat toy and names it Wendy. All these are names of Writers at Pixelberry.
