I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
There are some things in Hollywood that make me scratch my head, and the ballooning budgets of TV series that simply do not seem like they should cost that much is chief among them. We’ve gone through this with Marvel’s $200+ million Secret Invasion, and now, reportedly, season 2 of Severance is going to cost $20 million an episode. If they mirror the nine episodes of season 1, that’s $180 million for season 2.
Apple has thrown serious money at heavy hitters like Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, and they spent reportedly $250 million on Masters of the Air. The service is also known for extremely high-quality science fiction offerings, where in addition to Severance they have Foundation, Silo and For All Mankind, where all have been renewed and continue producing pricey seasons.
It’s not like Apple TV+ is shutting down, but the days of infinite spending appears to be over. I very much hope this does not affect its incredible sci-fi series, but we simply don’t know how this will play out yet.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
