10. Terra Nova – $4 million
Terra Nova premiered on Fox in 2011 and the network had high hopes for the Steven Spielberg produced science fiction drama. The pilot alone cost $10 million and each episode following had a budget of $4 million, which was mostly due to special effects and set design. Terra Nova had more than 250 sets designed for it. It was an ambitious flop and was proof that a big budget doesn’t always equal commercial success. The show was cancelled after the first season.
