Back in 2012, the Fox President recognized that a breakthrough science fiction thriller "Edge" "flies to a penny." And, without jokes, one episode cost about 4 million dollars, and a full-length pilot episode cost all 10 million.
14. "Stay alive" / LOST
It is said that "stay alive" also cost about 4 million per episode, but at the same time on the pilot allocated from 10 to 14 million. The lion's share of the pilot episode budget went to buy a written off airliner, which took to show the flight crash 815.
13. "Deadwood" / Deadwood
"Dedwood" with a closet under the wild West with all horses, televishers and domestic experts cost HBO somewhere in 4.5 million dollars per episode. Let's hope that HBO will find enough money for a long-awaited film, the production of which should begin in the fall of 2018.
12. "Cardhouse" / House of Cards
Expensive this thing is to manage the United States. At first, about 4.5 million dollars were invested in one episode of the "card house", and then the price of the series only grew. However, Netflix remained to suffer not so long: some stars (we will not show your finger) already left the card constellation, and the final season with a trimmed number of episodes will be released.
11. "Underground Empire" / Boardwalk Empire
The "underground empire", another epic series from HBO, accounted for a channel of 5 million per episode. A pilot episode with all carefully made decorations was three times more expensive - $ 18 million!
10. Fraser / Frasier
Fraser Crane had luxury queries, but sometimes reached the absurdity. By the end of Sitkom, each episode had to spread 5.2 million dollars. Basically, everything went to the fees of actors, because one Kelsey Grammer demanded 1.6 million.
9. "Camelot" / Camelot
Remember "Camelot"? We set that Starz is still remembered, because to ensure shows popularity, on a large-scale historical fantasy they spent 7 million per episode. But even it was not enough to save the series, and "Camelot" was closed after only 10 episodes.
8. "Eighth feeling" / Sense8
NetFlix argued the closure of the "eighth sense" by the fact that Fanbaza was still not large enough to keep such an expensive TV series afloat. And, indeed, for each episode of the Stregnation service had to give 9 million! Fortunately, the fans of "SENSE8" full completion will still receive: in June last year it became known that Netflix will complete the "eighth feeling" of a special two-hour series in 2018.
7. Marko Polo / Marco Polo
This ambitious historical drama is also estimated at 9 million per episode, but we gave "Marco Polo" the place higher, since in general the series came out much more expensive "Sense8". According to some information, in two seasons I had to lay out 200 million dollars. Even hear this amount hurts!
6. Rome / Rome
Rome was criticized, but the rates for the episode did not allow to continue the series: the budget of each series exceeded 9 million, and HBO took a difficult decision to close the project and save money.
5. "Game of Thrones" / Game of Thrones
On the first seasons of the "Games of the Thrones" it is known that the episode was 10 million, but the same budget remained on the trimmed seasons 7 and 8. What does this mean? On each episode of the final will spend more than ever - to the worst joy of the thousands of GOT fans.
4. "Friends" / Friends
The series "Friends" can be called "the mostst" for many reasons, and one of them is the cost of production. By the last season, every actor received a million for every 25 minutes on the screen, because of what the budget of the show grew to cosmic heights - about 10 million per series. It should be noted that the last seasons of the "friends" were filmed at the beginning of two thousands, when $ 10 million were still a more solid amount than by the standards of 2018.
3. "Annealing" / The Get Down
Music extravaganza Lurmanny Base ("Moulin Rouge") Higher hit by Netflix's pockets by each 11 million episode, but considering how cool "Annemy" perceived the audience, it is very not surprising that the series covered after the first season.
2. "Ambulance" / ER
Holding George Clooney NBC was as difficult as well as numerous actor women - the truth, unlike these the most women, the creators of ambulance had such an iron argument as money. However, even the high fee ultimately did not help, and the clubs still left the "ambulance" entered the story not only as a project who gave George the first glory, but also as one of the most expensive serials in the world. The production of each series by the end of the show went about 13 million dollars.
1. Crown / The Crown
According to official data, the TV series, dedicated to the British royal family, is the most expensive TV series of all that ever shot, because the fees are actors, the promotion of the series and its direct creation goes the fabulous money - 13 million on the episode. At the same time, an attempt of a little "save" came to the creators of the "Crown" by side, and what else - recently the series is not discussed at all due to the next 3rd season, but in connection with the scandal around Matt Smith fees inequality and Claire Foy.
