The Last of Us series will become not only the most expensive and large-scale HBO project, but also one of the most expensive series in the industry as a whole. Previously, there were rumors on the web that each episode would cost HBO $ 10 million, but today other data have emerged.

Interestingly, a person who is completely far from the industry shared them. This was done by the Prime Minister of Alberta (province of Canada) Jason Kenny. Speaking at a state-of-the-art event in the province, Kenny mentioned the amount HBO is going to spend on his series, which is filming in Alberta.
Kenny stated that HBO intends to spend more than $ 200 million a year. Of course, we are talking only about the first year, since the budgets of such projects have been growing since time. And then the Prime Minister shared another piece of news, stating that the HBO series could last up to eight seasons. Previously, there was no such information on the Web.

Returning to the series, it was previously reported that there will be 10 episodes in the first season. Thus, the budget of each can exceed $ 20 million and then, apparently, The Last of Us will become the most expensive series in history at the time of release. True, Amazon’s upcoming Lord of the Rings TV series is reportedly set to cost a whopping $ 465 million in its first season, but will be released later.
Recall that the director of at least the pilot episode of The Last of Us is Kantemir Balagov.
