5. Camelot – $7 million
Camelot premiered on the Starz network in 2011 receiving moderate viewership. The period drama had a per episode budget of $7 million, which was mostly due to a large cast and expensive costume and set designs in order to accurately and convincingly portray medieval times. Unfortunately, Camelot was not the ratings success the network had hoped for. The show premiered around the same time as HBO’s period drama Game of Thrones, which became a huge hit, while Camelot was cancelled after one season.
