The Most Expensive Television Shows of All Time, Ranked

36. The Tick – $5 million per Episode

Have you heard of this one? It's okay! You're not alone! As one of Amazon's most popular streaming shows, The Tick revolves around an irreverent, rude superhero. Amazon's live-action take on The Tick is the third TV adaptation of the show. Even so, it feels like the most mature of the bunch. The result is that fans are always clamoring for more. Cult classics are usually risky investments. Over time, Amazon has been cautious about growing The Tick. The cost of making a show that looks like a comic book will always be high. Each half-hour episode of The Tick costs approximately $5 million as of its most recent season.
