The Sandman television series, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s work, has a scandalous investment. Netflix plays it all here.
Netflix he’s playing it all with The Sandman. The next television series of the streaming giant will be an adaptation of the work of Neil Gaman, recognized by many readers as one of the best comic book sagas of all time. After the brutal stock market crash and the controversial decisions made by the North American company, it has now been revealed that this new television project has reached scandalous investment figures. They will give absolutely everything to get it off the ground in the best possible conditions. We could be in front of one of his most ambitious series.
Apparently, The Sandman has meant an investment for Netflix of up to fifteen million per episode. Taking into account that the first season is eleven chapters, that means that the final budget is 165 million dollars. The information has only indicated that those 165 million dollars are the production costs of the television program. In other words, if we add the marketing that Netflix is going to do with The Sandman… The series is going to exceed 200 million dollars! Some say that it will break the barrier of the 250 million final investment.
The most expensive series in the company’s history!
If these figures that we mention are real, if it has cost fifteen million per episode, The Sandman It would become the most expensive series in Netflix history. To date, that record was held by The Crown. The average for each episode was thirteen million. The first season had an investment of 130 million dollars, far from the 165 that Neil Gaiman’s adaptation would invest. The difference is devastating. We don’t know exactly what they’re up to, but it could be insane.
To give you an idea, the series of The Witcher on Netflix it has an average cost of ten million per chapter. Each episode of the series starring henry cavill costs five million less than those of The Sandman. A notable difference that indicates the degree of investment that the streaming giant wants to make with this new project. We can get ready now!
