Top 14 most expensive TV Series ever made – See which is number 1! (With Pictures)

3. Marco Polo – $9 million

Marco Polo premiered on Netflix in 2014 and like other high-budget period dramas, it required a hefty price tag due to exotic filming locations, large casts, elaborate costume designs, and detailed sets. These requirements amounted to a budget of $9 million per episode. Unfortunately, since Netflix does not release viewership ratings – it’s unclear as to how popular the show actually is. However, Netflix has renewed Marco Polo for a second season, which is set to release in June 2016.
