Lost
It ’s gentle to think that it does n’t take much to spot which TV display were expensive to make . Common sense dictates that the monumental epic fantasies must take a huge budget to produce , so the shows more ground in reality are probably cheaper to make — veracious ?
While this is solid logical system , it really is n’t always true . for sure , some of the boob tube shows that were super expensive to make are easy to orient out , but some on this lean are actually pretty surprising and will definitely give you suspension as you wonder why they were so expensive !

Some even start out reasonably and , as their popularity grow , so did their budget .
Game of Thrones
Let ’s take off with the obvious .
With its massive landscape , dissimilar earth and localisation , and raiment of vast actor and actresses starring in the show , it ’s not grueling to imagine what eats up the finances over at HBO.Game Of Throneseven has dragons — if there ’s something expensive that a show could possibly have , this one has it covered .
Therefore , it ’s unsurprising that this show consume up about $ 15 million per installment . But HBO can afford it — this show ’s success has been amazing and with the final season coming around next year , it ’s sure to have the most epic episodes yet .
Friends
Friendscost$10 millionto make . Surprising , huh ?
It seems more than surprising , actually . With its little , tinny set and its far from flaky scripts and location , it seems uncanny thatFriendsis one of the most expensive television display of all time to farm . But , as you may envisage , it was n’t the set or the particular effects that ate up so much of that budget . As the show grew in popularity , so did its six whizz , and they eventually began to need right smart high salaries than what they had lead off out on . Most of that $ 10 million went like a shot in their pouch .
Lostmay have been a awfully perplexing show , but it really sucked its viewers in . The show had a huge cast , most of them popular actors or actresses , and it showcased their lives after crashing on a desert island . It was n’t very ground in tangible aliveness though , and often required extra impression , since the survivor would encounter foreign creatures or occurrent and eventually even move through prison term .

Even the fender of this showreportedly cost $ 14 million to produce , which was a huge risk and very high compared to the norm . I wonder what would have happen if it had n’t accept off ?
House Of Cards
House Of Cardswas already an expensive show to film — and when Netflix swerve link with Kevin Spacey , it became even more so . Season six had already filmed two instalment and this carving of ties require them to be scrapped , scripts to be rewritten , everything to be remake . And yet , Netflix was completely willing to take the hit and take a stand — though they did have to reduce their originally intended thirteen installment to a simple six , to carry through them tens of millions of dollars that surely would have been the price of keeping the season as long as originally think .
Camelot
Camelotwas a show from Starz that only endure one season . Starring amazing actors such as Jamie Campbell - Bower and Eva Green , it was set up to be amazing but , due to programing conflicts , had to be canceled .
And Starz truly must have have a bun in the oven it to be a succeeder since theyreportedly spent $ 7 million on each episode . Quite a huge amount , especially for Starz — and maybe if those scheduling conflicts had n’t occur , the money would have paid off and it would have been really successful . It put an enjoyable twist on the caption and it was kind of sad to see it canceled .
Band Of Brothers
Band Of Brotherswas an American warfare drama miniseries that was also super expensive to film . It was originally broadcast by HBO , who have now got quite the legacy of expensive video shows behind them — and with a cast like this show had , it ’s no marvel that it was expensive to bring about . It pull ahead Emmy and Golden Globe award though , so it seems like the money that was put into this show was pretty worth it .
They apparently spentmonthsdeveloping the plot of this show too , so it was n’t just money that went into make it so great . This show had a luck place in it in many ways .
Sense8
Sense8had such a gamey production cost that Netflix actually call off it , saying that it did n’t have a potent enough viewership to support the mellow production cost .
Which is kind of unearthly — the show seemed to have a wide , strong fanbase , but apparently it was n’t enough . Either the show really did cost a nonsensical amount of money to produce or the fanbase was vocal enough to make itself seem large than it really was .
fortuitously , Netflix did in reality do a special to wrap up the storylines after they axed the show , due to fans being desperately infelicitous with the determination .

The Crown
The Crowncost a staggering $ 157 million to make , which makes it the most expensive show in story . Wow .

Still , that phone number is almost an uncomprehensible amount , but when you weigh the cast and costumes — it makes sense .

Marco Polo
Marco Polowas another Netflix venture offset quite quickly because if its gamy output cost . It was the first Netflix original not to be renew for a third season , and was evidently creditworthy for a $ 200 million loss .
It make sense that it was so expensive though , more so for the position and effects than the cast of characters this time , unlike most of the other shows listed here . It was also a very enjoyable series while it endure which , sadly , was not for too long .
ER
I rememberER . When I was a child , it was my parents ’ favorite show , so it was constantly on in the background and the theme song sticks in my promontory even now . But I would never have approximate it had such a high-pitched product price that it is one of the most expensive TV shows ever .
It ’s similar toFriendsin that it did n’t needfully start out expensive but that ’s where it go after it gain a portion of popularity . Which is a jeopardy of a television set show gain adhesive friction I guess , though not something I really tended to think about before .
