HOW MUCH DID EACH EPISODE COST TO MAKE?
Tom Greene’s very kindly come forward with info on this, and the cost per episode for the second season was around the $600,000 mark (not bad! more than expected, I’d say. It’s possible that part of this sum was for the extra publicity material and advertising that the second season got.) For the third season, the budget was cut dramatically (to ‘next to nothing’, to quote Steve Sears in a recent magazine interview) in half, to around the $300,000 per episode mark (coinciding with Boris Malden’s resume that states that his budget range varies from $300,000). No info is yet known on the budget for first season, but it’s unlikely to be less than that of the third. My guess would be somewhere between second and third season. If anyone has any more accurate information on this, it would be appreciated.
