Despite being set in an office, the second season of an Apple TV+ series could cost more than $200 million to produce.
Severance is being praised by viewers as one of the “best series ever made,” but its second season could cost as much as, or even more than, some Marvel or Star Wars films.
The upcoming season is highly anticipated, following nearly three years of waiting until its release in January. But internet users were confused when it was revealed that the second season had a production budget of $20 million per episode.
“I think Severance is a series that doesn’t need that kind of budget,” one user commented. “More expensive than Game of Thrones? That makes no sense,” said another.
The reason for this inflated budget has not yet been revealed, as the press tour for the new season has not yet started and no one from Apple has commented on the exorbitant amount.
