It won't come as a surprise to viewers of Game of Thrones season 8 that the programme wasn't made cheaply. With two massive battle sequences so far, including the much awaited and unrelenting battle of King's Landing, it's clear that all the drama that unfolds on screens is meticulously planned. Directors took a gruelling 55 days to complete The Long Night, despite the fact the fight was only 78 minutes long. However, beyond blood, sweat and tears, producers need the big bucks to make their visions come to light – and they've certainly been provided with am ample budget for the final season. The fantasy HBO series was reportedly given a whopping $15 million to spend on each of the six episodes of season eight – just shy of £12 milllion.
