They didn’t skimp on the recordings.
Fantastic amounts of money are spent on fantasy production. From the first frames of the much-praised ‘House of the Dragon’ it is clear that this is an extremely expensive project. Another example is the science fiction series Separation.
Out of curiosity, let’s compare their budgets.
- Just one episode of the Game of Thrones spin-off cost the creators $20 million.
- The cost of filming the first season was approximately $200 million.
- And that doesn’t even include the $100 million spent on marketing.
The numbers are impressive.
For comparison, one episode of the first season of Game of Thrones cost only $6 million.
Over time, costs rose, but even the most expensive season eight cost $15 million per episode.
Let’s continue with “Division”. Here is one episode of the second season made $20 millionIn total, the sequel includes 10 episodes, which is a total of $200 million.
Financial details of the first season are being kept under wraps, but it is known that it was much cheaper.
The Apple TV+ product is close to House of the Dragon, but still lags behind. The first season of the story of the royal Targaryen dynasty had a budget of $20 million per episodebut Ben Stiller’s drama didn’t reach that level until its second season. Meanwhile, insiders are excitedly reporting that the platform shouldn’t have spent so much money, as the viewing situation leaves much to be desired.
Apple TV+ gets fewer views in a month than Netflix does in a day, so the company plans to cut costs significantly. Against this backdrop, the future of “Separation” looks terrifyingly bleak.
