HBO betted a lot of money this year, by increasing again its budget
It is not a secret : Game of Thrones is a very expensive serie for HBO. The channel invests a lot of greenbacks every year to produce the new episodes which we are all waiting for. But how many exactly? How much did the season 6 cost for HBO ?
The website Entertainment Weekly brings the answer. The website announces this week that the season 6 's budget is " above 10 million $ per episode" , so the total season of 10 episodes should cost around 100 million $ !
Which represents a huge increase against the previous seasons ! We know, for instance, that the first episode of the serie cost around 5 millions $ and that the first season cost in total around 50-60 millions $. The budget of the season 2 was lightly superior, because of the "BlackWater" battle which necessitated a 8 millions $ cheque. And for the few last years, we estimate that the medium budget of an episode has swung between 6 and 8 millions $.
The success of the serie is increasing, but the production's costs too. Despite of all, HBO invested again a huge amount of money this year, we all hope that it will appear on the screen !
This season 6 of Game of Thrones will begin on the 24th of April on HBO . We remind you that the season 5 is already available as DVD since the the 14th of March.
