The Most Expensive Television Shows of All Time, Ranked

27. Game of Thrones – $15 Million per Episode

There is no doubt that HBO's Game of Thrones is the biggest show on earth. The TV show's budget was extravagant even during its early seasons. Showrunners were given a blank check by the network after the show's popularity reached unhealthy levels. The show became so popular that its final season was basically a series of full-length movies! A budget of about $100 million was allocated for Game of Thrones' final season. Its last season had fewer episodes, which means they spent even more money per episode. Ultimately, Thrones' final season cost around $15 million per episode. An epic battle that takes 55 days to film can never be cheap!
