4. Rome – $9 million

HBO set the bar high with the series Rome, which aired from 2005-2007. Producers went all out to ensure an accurate depiction of what it was like for one to survive during Roman times. HBO shelled out huge amounts of money for elaborate costume designs and detailed sets – which amounted to a production budget of $9 million per episode. The show was well-received, but its absorbent budget was its downfall as well. HBO executives decided to ax the show in order to save on production costs in Italy.
