Jast Jared managed to find out which TV series movie studios spend more money on. If you haven’t watched it, now is the time.
1. “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” – 58 million dollars per episode
The action takes place in the Second Age of Middle-earth, a thousand years before the Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf, Hobbits and Legolas, which everyone knows well thanks to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. Meanwhile, the first season of the series was shot for 715 million dollars.
2. “The Castle” – $50 million per episode
It turned out that the total cost of the series “Citadel” on Prime Video was 300 million for the first season and only 6 episodes (it turned out to be 50 million per episode).
3. “Stranger Things” – $30 million per episode
As Deadline previously reported, the fourth season of Stranger Things was the most-watched season in Netflix history, so it’s no surprise that the show ranked so high on the list.
4. Marvel TV Show – $25 million per episode
We’re talking about all Disney+ MCU shows, not just one series. Here are Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision and Hawkeye, which eat up most of the budget ($25 million per episode).
5. “Pacific” – $21 million per episode
The 2010 miniseries, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, still maintains its place in the top five.
6. “Dragon House” – $20 million per episode
Each episode of House of the Dragon costs approximately $20 million. By comparison, Game of Thrones spent five million less per episode of season eight.
7. Game of Thrones – $15 million per episode
It’s no surprise that Game of Thrones is on the list, but it was far below what we expected. The last of the eight seasons was the most expensive to produce. Production of the first season reportedly cost around $5-6 million per episode.
8. The Mandalorian – $15 million per episode
The Mandalorian was the first Star Wars spinoff produced for Disney+.
9. “Look” – $15 million per episode
Apple TV+ spent almost the same amount of money on the production of the series See, starring Jason Momoa. The final season’s cost per episode was an estimated $15 million.
10. “The Morning Show” – $15 million per episode
Apple invested heavily in the cast of The Morning Show, which includes Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell and more.
