Many producers do not like to limit themselves when setting a production budget. It consists mainly of: paying actors, creating animations, special effects and sound. Wanting to ensure the highest quality in each of these aspects, the cost of the series may skyrocket significantly.
The series has earned the title of the most expensive series in the world “The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power“ produced by Amazon Studios. Currently, only the first season of the production is available to watch has 8 episodes. The second season premieres this year, and fans will see its first episode on August 29.
Even though it’s so short, it consumed an exorbitant budget. Each episode of “Ring of Power” cost money approximately $58 million. This translates into total Cost for a production of $465 millionor less than half a billion.
The money covered mostly costs of special effects and set design. According to many, these are incredibly delightful and exceptionally beautiful. Despite such high costs, the plot was heavily criticized.
This is due to the fact that the creators of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”, i.e. Patrick McKay and JD Payne they had no way to base it entirely on Tolkien’s storybut only on the content he created, which was included as part of the supplement to “The Lord of the Rings”. So the focus was on the visual part of the series.
