The episodes in Jason Momoa’s new show are reportedly as expensive as Game of Thrones

The creator of Peaky Blinders is involved with this one.

We all know that a big budget isn’t a guaranteed indicator of quality but with the boundaries between cinema and TV become so fine, the production values on TV are definitely improving.

HBO spent $15 million per episode on the final six episodes of Game of Thrones and that’s what Disney are spending on every single episode of their upcoming Star Wars spin-off series, The Mandalorian, for Disney +.

If you’re the type of person that loves bang for their buck and big budget productions, Jason Momoa’s new show on Apple TV+ is definitely for you.

The Wall Street Journal have said that each episode of Momoa’s new sci-fi show are very costly.

They report that “in the case of Apple’s See, the cost has neared $15 million for each roughly 60-minute episode, according to a person familiar with the matter. That is more than the cost of a typical independent feature film.”

Ok, what’s the show about?

Well, the official plot synopsis states that the show is set “far in a dystopian future, the human race has lost the sense of sight, and society has had to find new ways to interact, build, hunt, and to survive. All of that is challenged when a set of twins with sight is born.”

Peaky Blinders creator/writer Steven Knight is an executive producer on this one – he also wrote an episode – and we’re curious to see the final product when See premieres on Apple TV+ later this year.
