Top 10 TV Shows That Are Surprisingly Expensive

9 The Walking Dead

AMC struck gold when they took on The Walking Dead in 2010. Thanks to the ever-evolving stories derived from the comic source material, the series continues to thrive after its 10th season. AMC CEO Josh Sapan doesn’t plan on closing the series anytime soon, despite it being expensive to produce at $2.75 million per episode.

Sapan said in 2018 that he has plans for at least another ten years of seasons. However, the costs of production are expected to rise and not fall over the next few decades. While technology will improve, salaries will grow. According to rumors, Norman Reedus is the only one who receives $1 million per episode.
