Last of us hbo series#
To make this series a success HBO is putting its all in the first season despite no promise of its ratings. Largely such movies have not worked with the audience, it will take a lot to turn that around. Looking at the record of video games turned movies and shows we can’t blame them. It seems like HBO is taking this very seriously. Mazin, the show’s writer, who was behind the Emmy-award-winning series Chernobyl, also mentions that they are trying to “enhance” the show by adding some scenes to the original plotline “to fill things out and expand”. It seems like a job for “An army of hundreds of technicians” which will come with its cost. While The Last of Us may not have fire-breathing dragons it will have zombies and to make the series a success these zombies would need to go beyond the standards of Walking Dead. The last of Us would require abundant special effects to execute the gory world of pandemics in the series. With 6 episodes under its finale, the total cost amounted to $90 million which already is less than what The Last of Us has planned for its first season.īattles of Game of Thrones were legendary ( About the plot we can’t say the same) and they required such intensive cost but what is The Last of Us spending on? Game of Thrones had showtime of 8 seasons, the episodes of the last season started with a budget of $10 million but later gained cost to 15 million to execute more battle-focused episodes. Which even goes beyond the budget of the Game Of Thrones finale season. With the addition of “exceeds” in the statement, we can speculate a potential cost of $150 million. Which makes the total cost for the season up to $100 million. Thanks to a report by Collider, we already know that the series will have ten episodes in the first season. This statement suggests that a single episode of The last of us could cost at least $10 million. There are hundreds of related businesses benefitting from the plethora of work.” Torv joins previously announced series leads Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as well as cast members Gabriel. “So there is a multiplier effect on our economy in terms of its impact. The Last of Us series at HBO has cast Anna Torv in a recurring guest star role. It is now said to have something bigger to share with it as well, A Budget.Īccording to the report by Forbes, the president of IATSE, Damian Petti shared that the cost of “The Last of Us” supposedly “exceeds the eight-figure per episode mark”. While chaos is something that “The Last of Us” may share with Game Of thrones. The Last of Us, a series based on the critically acclaimed video game, is coming to HBO and HBOMax.
