Netflix spent two million dollars more on the One Piece live-action adaptation than Game of Thrones

Despite Spending $2,000,000 More Than &#8216;Game of Thrones&#8217;, Netflix’s &#8216;One Piece&#8217; Live-Action Series Doesn’t Stand Even Close to Most Expensive TV Shows

Creating a show as epic and grand as Game of Thrones takes more than one can
imagine. Along with the perfect script and an appealing vision, it also takes
proper execution. Therefore, executing the idea with the utmost accuracy takes a
lot of money. Netflix’s recently released live-action adaptation of One Piece is
thought to be one of the most expensive adaptations. However, looking at other
shows, this statement seems a little far-fetched.

The American streaming giant recently aired one of the most-awaited live-action
adaptations. Despite spending more money on the creation than the grand show,
Game of Thrones, the series is still further on the list of the most expensive
shows.


THE ONE PIECE LIVE-ACTION ADAPTATION STILL IS NOT THE MOST EXPENSIVE SERIES EVER

The budget for the Netflix Original attracted a number of fans. The discussion
peaked as the series premiered on the platform. According to Netflix’s German
site, Netflixwoche, the budget is over $17 million per episode for this
adaptation. It is $2 million more than HBO’s Game of Thrones, according to
Twitter (now X) user, Ali Ahmed. With this surprisingly high budget for the
live-action adaptation, fans are now eager to see what the series has to offer.

> The budget for the One Piece live action has been confirmed to be 16 million
> euros per episode (17.27 million USD) making it more expensive than Game of
> Thrones 13.7 million euros (14.79 million USD) per episode budget.
> Looks like Geo was right lol.

It is to be noted that this budget is highly speculative, as there has been no
confirmation of the same. However, if it is true, the recently released series
is still in no way near the most expensive shows ever made. For instance, the
2010 HBO miniseries The Pacific spent $20 million per episode, which was the
most expensive miniseries at the time. Even the prequel to Game of Thrones,
House of the Dragons, also spent $20 million per episode.

Additionally, Netflix’s one of the biggest hits, Stranger Things,
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] has spent $30 million per
episode. Currently, the fifth and final season of the drama is under production.
However, the live-action adaptation of One Piece still did not reach the most
extravagant production.

When talking about the most extravagant production, there is still one Amazon
Prime series that spent a jaw-dropping amount per episode.


WHICH AMAZON PRIME SERIES IS CURRENTLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE?

Amazon Prime bagged one of the most famous and highly appreciated franchises on
its platform. The franchise is none other than The Lord of the Rings. The Lord
of the Rings: Rings of Power spent a whopping amount of $58 million per episode
with an overall budget of $465 million. This giant budget even surpassed the
combined budget ($281 million) of the film series.



Now, if, again, we look at the money spent on Netflix’s live-action adaptation,
there is a difference of $41 million. Fans expressed their joy just a day before
One Piece’s premiere
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/anime-netflix-fans-cannot-hold-their-excitement-ahead-of-the-big-release-of-netflixs-one-piece/].
And now, they have gotten this astonishing news of how much money the streaming
giant has spent.
