Able to set a record of views on Prime Video, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power seems to belong in a category of its own, according to the monstrous production costs incurred by Amazon for the realization of the show.
While the Disney + series all feature a similar budget, specifically $ 25 million per episode, it seems that the fourth season of Stranger Things, the second most viewed Netflix series ever, represents an exception to the rule.
It is strange to see the last season of Game of Thrones among the last places in the rankings, but it is now evident that the scenario has changed over the last few years and the projects have become even more ambitious.
