The Most Expensive Television Shows of All Time, Ranked

38. Stranger Things – Over $8 Million per Episode

Stranger Things is not only one of Netflix's most popular shows, but also one of the most expensive. Despite the high costs, it seems worth it. Three seasons of the show have been incredibly successful, and it shows no signs of slowing down. In Stranger Things, four kids battle evil scientists and creatures from another dimension in the 1980s. Viewers love it, too! Stranger Things has a massive budget of over $8 million per episode as it enters its fourth season. When you consider that the show features tons of locations and CGI moments and has Wynona Ryder as part of the fantastic cast, the costs start to make sense.
