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

8. True Blood – $5 million

True Blood aired on HBO from 2008-2014. Thanks to the release of the first Twilight film in 2008, vampires were very trendy and HBO along with several other networks jumped on the vampire wagon. The large cast, set design, and makeup/costumes gave the vampire series a price tag of $5 million per episode. Although the show premiered with low ratings of 1.4 million viewers, it quickly grew in popularity. Unlike other high-budget HBO shows that typically receive 2-3 seasons, True Blood remained on the air for seven seasons thanks to his strong fan base.
