Part 5/9:
Given the timing of the financial reports and the show's release, it’s highly probable that post-production costs, visual effects, reshoots, and marketing expenses pushed the total expenditure even further. If the initial estimate was already near $231 million, and considering ongoing expenses, industry insiders estimate the ultimate production cost could approach $275–$300 million.
Why is this important?
- The high costs are unprecedented for a Disney+ series, especially one with a relatively modest episode count.
