To help you understand what a massive amount of money that is for a TV show – the recent episode featuring the loot train sequence cost $10 million.

This means that Game of Thrones will be among the most expensive shows on the planet like Netflix’s The Crown and The Get Down – both of which were made at a reported $12-13 million per episode.

However, the reports also suggest how all the last six episodes in the last season will be an approximate 80 minutes – nearly the same as the season 7 finale which clocked in at 79 minutes.

This probably means hikes in actor salaries for ‘incestuous scenes’? Maybe. And even mind blowing VFX, never before attempted on TV.
