The Most Expensive Television Shows of All Time, Ranked

23. The Pacific – $20 Million per Episode

The Pacific was intended to be HBO's companion piece to Band of Brothers, even though it was released nearly a decade later. The Pacific focuses on Marines rather than the Army during the same timeframe as the Army miniseries. The Pacific, on the other hand, is grandiose in every way that its predecessor was. The Pacific is far more expensive than Brothers: each episode costs $20 million. It was the most expensive series ever produced, with a budget of $200 million for the entire season of ten episodes! Watch the biggest box-office bombs of all time if you thought TV shows spent money well! In movies like Gods of Egypt, just as much money was spent, but nothing was recouped!
