The Most Expensive Television Shows of All Time, Ranked

12. Sense8 – $9 Million per Episode

In the aftermath of Netflix's Sense8's cancellation at the end of its second season, the show's small but loyal audience made quite a bit of noise. As a result, Netflix had to do a goodbye special. Hope it returns someday, but don't hold your breath... Netflix simply couldn't afford to pay $9 million per episode, despite the love. Despite their reputation for putting together extremely ambitious, expensive projects, the Wachowski sisters continue to push the medium forward. In addition to its diverse cast, locations around the globe, and lots of CGI, Sense8 was also a visually stunning show.
